A:

I am a college degree scientist turned writer, professionally involved in the direct response business for many years as an independent contractor. I have conceptualized, written and designed promotions in dozens of categories. Working for organizations of all sizes.

You call me, or simply send your email information and telephone number, and I will call you at your convenience. Talking is FREE. Consultation and private discussion about your business is FREE. I am easy to work with. No pressure. Some clients I have personally met at their business offices throughout the years; others, I work with remotely and have never met. Direct response organizations, advertising agencies, Fortune 500’s, charities, guerrilla marketers, entrepreneurs, new product launches . . . call me today. Domestic and international clients are welcome.

A:

Fees vary depending on the complexity and number of components per project.  I can generally quote a fee over the phone once I know what is involved. Normally I charge a flat fee for my services. Occasionally I work with clients on a pre-arranged fee plus royalty basis, much as a novelist may negotiate a residual with a publisher. Once a business relationship has been established, I offer terms.

A:

Depending on my workload and the complexity of the project, up to a month. I work on all aspects of your creative, so if there is any delay, I will keep you posted regarding the estimated completion time. Much effort goes into each project . . . implementation of headlines and copy, graphics, always refinement, modification, fine-tuning to the finish.

A:

All copy, design and graphics are delivered in a tight comp format, basically ready for printing. No chicken scratch layouts or crude pencil drawings. I do all the layout and copywriting services myself, providing electronic files inclusive of type fonts, graphic links and images. Work is created on a MAC computer utilizing Adobe In-Design. I do not hire junior writers. 

A:

Unfortunately, I cannot offer such a guarantee. Direct response is a difficult marketing endeavor and variables exist which can impact response rates. My batting average is exceptional and I provide professional services on all levels. I work to the best of my ability and never shortchange on time or effort. I am a methodical, careful writer with many years of hands-on experience and proven success. 

A:

No, the marketer/seller of the product or service is responsible for all issues related to legal compliance with U.S. and international laws and advertising practices. Moreover — it is incumbent on the marketer to seek legal review and compliance as I am not an attorney. As part of my commitment to the client/marketer, I will revise any copy and/or graphics based on legal or client suggestion or mandate until final attorney approval is reached. My job is to write and design the advertising, the business owner is responsible for legal aspects relative to their product or service.
