Frequently Asked Questions

• Schedule a free 15 minute “meet and greet” so that we can learn more about each other.  I will ask you questions about your goals, timeline, budget.  You get to ask me whatever you want.
• Within 72 hours of this call, I will send you a project proposal which will outline the services I will provide you, the timeline, the cost, and the specifics of the copy I will be writing for you.
• If you decide that you would like to work with me I will draft a contract.  Once I receive this signed contract and 50% deposit for the project cost, we can get to work!

The next steps will be:

• Research and consultation.

• Writing.  This is where I get to work on our exciting joint project.

• Revision.  Based upon our agreed upon timeline, I will submit a First Draft and a Final Invoice for the remaining 50% of my payment.  Up to two rounds of (2) revisions are included in the initial project quote. Further revisions will be subject to extra charges.  In all cases, a quote will be submitted for your approval, prior to additional work commencing.

• Final product and payment.  After I receive final payment from you, I will hand over the final product.

• Throughout the term of the project, copyright for all material will be held by Amy Harris, and will be transferred to the client upon final payment. Until final payment is made, the client is prohibited from reproducing, distributing, or altering any material produced by Amy Harris.

Simply put, I will save you money.  Larger agencies typically cost more because they have higher overhead.  Many digital marketing agencies do not have their own in-house copywriters and might even ask you to provide your own content.

I will be able to customize the exact services you need, writing inspiring content for emails, newsletters, social media posts, and blogs that will help you to rank higher in online searches.

As a healthcare provider I know how to communicate with patients.  I have expert clinical knowledge as a medical writer.  I can translate complex or scary-sounding medical jargon into plain language.  This will help bring clients better health and increase their loyalty to you as their provider.

I am happy to create the following for you as part of your digital marketing plan:  website content, blogs, email sequences, newsletters, social media posts, client case studies, and patient education materials.  If you can’t find what you are looking for in that list, please contact me so we can figure out how I can best help you.

I love to.  We live in a global community. The healthcare and wellness industries  extend beyond time zones and continents.

While living abroad in Spain for two years, I worked as a copywriter for international health, wellness, parenting and lifestyle businesses and publications.  All of these clients were looking for a native English-speaker to help build their website and to write content.

Someone who has learned English as their second language or who has not lived in the United States does not have a full grasp of the literary and cultural nuances of American English.  Expats or other native English speakers will be turned off by poorly-translated copy.  In today’s digital world, it is extremely easy to collaborate by phone, email, or video meetings.

I request a 50% deposit upfront for copywriting service packages or hourly a la carte services based upon estimated project scope.  Balance of payment is due 7 days after delivery of the first draft of your copy.

I accept bank transfers and electronic payments through Paypal and Venmo in US dollars.

Yes. After we’ve discussed the parameters of your copywriting project, I’ll put together an agreement that summarizes the details, including the price. The agreement is a good way for us both to ensure that we have the same expectations.

If for any reason you are unhappy with my work or no longer want to work with me, you may break the contract.

We both have the right to terminate our contract at any point.  If we decide to stop working together, I will immediately provide you with any and all work in progress or completed prior to the termination date.  I request that you will pay me an equitable amount as mutually agreed upon, for the partially completed work in progress and the agreed to price for the completed Services and/or Deliverables provided and accepted prior to the date of termination.

The initial 50% down payment is non-refundable.
