amandasalisbury · Accepted Answer

For detailed information about information you provide through our website, please visit our Privacy Policy.

We protect your project information in a few important ways. First, we only work on your project if it doesn’t conflict with other work we have planned or completed. Second, only people who work on your project will ever see your project information. Third, we give you access to our work product over a secure connection.

Question 2

09 | Do you ever reject requests for services?

amandasalisbury · Accepted Answer

Yes, we can reject any request for services, but we usually look for fit, or how well our skills meet your needs. Fit is important for you and for us. That's why we meet together virtually or by phone or email before you ever sign a contract.

For law-related services, we only accept service requests for legal information about the laws and regulations of the U.S. and States.

For business-related services, we only accept service requests for projects related to internal operations, requirements for receiving request for proposal [RFP] bids, and bid responses on RFPs.

For creative services, we only accept service requests that do not conflict with our planned, current, or existing work. We check for conflicts before you provide any copyrighted information. This protects you and us.

Question 3

01 | How much would I pay for your services?

amandasalisbury · Accepted Answer

Your costs depend on the scope of your project and the choices you make in your contract with us. We have three kinds of cost: communication rates, service rates, and licensing and copyright rates.

For hourly rates, time is digitally tracked, appears on the invoice, and is billed in partial hours (minutes) so you only pay for the time we work.

Communication Rates

Free for your request, our response, and the project check-ins you and we set in our contract together

An agreed-upon per-hour fee for additional communication that exceeds the project check-ins we set in our contract together

Service Rates

Law-related service rates

$60 per hour of research, writing, or both

Business-Related Service Rates

$40 per hour of research, writing, or both

Creative service rates

Research-only projects

$30 per hour for research and preparation of research findings

Writing projects

(with or without research)

$0.10 to $0.30 per word counted in the final draft of the work product

The rate depends on the type of writing you request. Typical rates for some types of writing might be:

$0.10 per word for blog posts and short-form fiction or non-fiction (no more than 40,000 words)
$0.10 to $0.20 per word for long-form fiction or non-fiction (more than 40,000 words), adjustable in the contract you and we make together
$0.20 to $0.30 per word for academic non-fiction narratives regardless of length, adjustable in the contract you and we make together

Licensing and Copyright Rates

Remember, only original works are protected by copyright laws. We added some relevant information from copyright.gov to our Ownership and Use FAQs.

Ordinary Use License

No added cost for your license to use our original work for personal use and business planning or compliance purposes

Other Rights

Negotiated rates for additional rights, like full ownership of the work and original characters or worlds

You can plan to negotiate the rights in the contract you and we make before project work starts, or you can request to negotiate for the rights in a new contract with us after the work is done.
