Copywriting Rates
Most copywriters don't publish their rates upfront. But knowing 'how much' lets you make an informed choice. So, here are my rates to help you do just that.
HIRE ME FOR COPY AND CONTENT WRITING THAT'S HASSLE-FREE...
For anyone needing a copywriter, we highly recommend Andrew. He's effective, efficient and knows what he's doing! Peter Tyler and Gordana Mandic, founders of Tyler Mandic Architects, Chelsea.According to the most recent ProCopywriters' survey, the average UK freelance copywriters' day rate is now £433 (based on 520 copywriters' responding in 2023). By comparison, mine is just £330 - a fair and competitive rate for meaningful writing that'll entice and engage any audience. Not bore them to death.
Plus, you'll save yourself a lot of time and hassle in the process - while reaping the rewards of well-crafted words.

HOW I WORK AND WHAT'S INCLUDED
I charge on a project-by-project basis because every client is different. A quote takes into account every aspect of the work and writing required. That way, you'll know the exact cost from the start with no nasty surprises at the end.My fees are based on (but not limited to): how detailed the brief is, how urgent the work is, the word count, the complexity, and how much time it will take me to research, create and then write what you need. A quoted fee will include...
• Consultation/fine-tuning the brief
• Research and fact-checking using multiple sources
• Creative processes
• All writing and editing for a first draft
• Two sets of revisions (if needed)
• Final checks
• Delivery of completed project
When I first browsed Andrew's website, I knew he was the copywriter I needed to rewrite mine. He writes captivating copy that just works. For humans and Google!
