“The first draft of everything is shit.”

Ernest Hemingway said that. (Excuse the scatological reference, but it’s his word, not mine.)

Think about the words in front of you. Maybe you wrote them. Maybe the agency wrote them. Maybe the girl down the hall wrote them. Maybe you just got them back from that overseas outfit you hired to write your copy. Maybe you’re trying out one of those software programs, like Funnel, that supposedly write copy like a real person.

The point is, you’re not completely happy with it, or you wouldn’t be here.

I’ll evaluate your ad, letter, email, tweet, marketing program, speech, blog article, or anything else that involves words.

I’ll give you an honest, candid appraisal. If I feel it needs improvement, I’ll show you why and how, even rewriting parts (or all) of it. Then we’ll talk about the proposed changes, making additional revisions as necessary. The result will be a piece that does the job you had in mind for it.

How does it work? Simple. Send me what you’ve written. Let me know what you want the piece to accomplish, and to whom it’s aimed.  

I’ve been helping clients say exactly what they want to say for more than 30 years, as a copywriter, and for 15 years as Creative Director of two large, prestigious ad agencies. You can check my credentials on the Rent a Writer website. (And no, I didn’t help Thomas Jefferson with the Declaration of Independence, but someone pretty much like me did, I’m thinking.)

How much does it cost? Not much. For most ads, blog articles, TV spots, tweets, product descriptions, or other one-page type projects you’re probably looking at about $35. Multiple page projects will obviously take longer. Check out the products page for rates.

Bottom line: if it’s important, you probably need a second opinion. Upload or email it to me, and I’ll get right on it.
