FAQs

No job is too big or too small.

Pick up the phone or drop me an email outlining what you are looking for.

Then we can agree on a brief.

That includes the angles of your story or assignment, your copy to be edited and/or the research you want done.

We’ll also agree on word counts and deadline as well as payment and any additional expenses such as travel or utility bills.

By agreeing on the brief, you are agreeing to my terms and conditions

You’ll then receive a contract for the work to sign and return to me.

The rate will be agreed during the brief before any work is carried out.

Then it’s all over to me.

I’ll carry out the work, providing you with regular updates at each stage if required, and deliver it on or before the agreed deadline.

You’ll then receive an invoice for my work.

Full payment is required within 30 days of receipt, whether my work is used or not.

I’ll complete the work on or before the agreed deadline, unless it is changed for a valid reason afterwards.

Should the deadline have to be put back for any reason by either your or me (personal illness, circumstances or further information needed to complete a task), I’ll, where reasonably practicable, give you at least 24 hours’ notice.

The timescale depends on the length of the work and the amount of editing and/or research required.

For example, I’ll typically take one month to complete a 2,000-word in-depth feature provided I’m given sufficient advance notice; proofreading and editing 10 pages of A4 copy will typically take two days.

Full payment is required within 30 days of receipt of Alex Wright’s invoice, whether Alex Wright’s work is used or not.

All payment is made via bank transfer.

A rate of 10% interest per day, after the 30-day period following receipt of any invoice, will be charged for late or non-payment.

If a brief is terminated, cancelled or ended prematurely for any reason, payment for all work completed and expenses incurred to date is required within 30 days of receipt of the invoice for such work and expenses. Interest will apply in the same way as set out above.

In some instances I may have to incur reasonable expenses including but not limited to travel, food, accommodation, telephone calls, texts and wi-fi charges as a result of the work carried out, for which I’ll invoice you.
