We do not charge an hourly rate. Each project is given one price tag. This helps our clients rest at ease when it comes to their budgets, as well as reassuring them that the final bill is void of padded hourly charges. That being said, each project has varying levels of complexity and time requirements. It's best to contact us for a specific quote.
To give you an idea of what we charge for each project, the chart below lists current industry pricing standards in comparison to ours. Top Drawer Writing offers these same exceptional services at 25% or less of the stated industry price.

I prefer to call you. Where is your phone number?
Our preference is to be contacted by email first. Afterwards, if we are to proceed, phone numbers can be exchanged.
Do you offer any other services besides those listed?
We are open to other projects. Just send us an email at Kirsten@topdrawerwriting.com and we'll see what we can do.
Do you require deposits? Kill fees?
For most small projects, deposits are not necessary. However, the larger projects (those typically requiring 2 or more weeks) do require a 25% deposit.
Of course we hope that you will be completely satisfied with our work, but in the case that you aren't or you no longer need the project fulfilled, we do require a 25% kill fee. Kill fees, or cancellation fees, are written into our service agreement that requires your signature before we start to work for you.
What are the terms of your service agreement/contract?
The service agreement is there to protect us both. It states the details of the project to be completed, the time frame, cost and ownership rights that transfer. If you prefer to use your own service agreement, we are flexible. Note: We will not proceed on any project until a contract or service agreement has been signed.
Why should I use Top Drawer Writing?
We thrive on the work, the deadlines and the variation in projects. We excel at what we do and charge less than everyone else. Most of all, we enjoy putting our talent to work for you; a happy employee is a productive employee.
So, the real question is "Why aren't you already using Top Drawer Writing?"
