Introduction to Freelance Writing
Do you know what you want to say but need help finding the time or energy to polish your website? You might benefit from hiring a freelance writer. Whether writing doesn't come naturally to you or you want a second opinion to bring your ideas to life, Word Alchemy LLC can help you out. Going to a writing agency is often expensive, especially if the freelance writer has been in the business for a while.
**Did you know hiring for something as simple as a resume can cost 400+ dollars? Ouch!
How do I know this? I've been the recipient of such a resume. I didn't trust my ability to represent myself. My career experience had been in manual labor. I was worried I wouldn't know how to break into the writing field when I graduated. Looking back, I cringe at that price point. One of my first jobs was writing articles for a well-known company. While there, I discovered just how many writers rely on AI generative text and basic templates you can find for free online. They required the usage of AI for every single article. I didn't even feel like a writer anymore.
**How would you feel if you paid all that money to find out that they used primarily free software you have access to at home?
Even worse, Grammarly Pro (just one AI example that this company used) comes at a small price of $144 a year. AI writing is quick and easy, and that is why you can go to websites such as Fiverr and hire a writer for $30. All they have to do is toss your work into Grammarly and take a break while the AI does all of their work for them in minutes. Please don't waste your money. There are better options with skilled, qualified individuals.

Steps for Hiring a Freelance Writer

Prices are much easier to quote if you know how much help you want or need. *Research and find a writer who writes in a way that you resonate with. Dialect needs, voice, and tone can be vastly different across writers. *Discuss terms, timeline, and expectations with your chosen writer - don't be afraid to interview them!

What Does Freelance Editing Look Like?

While my degree was concentrated in fantasy and mythology, I did take all the traditional linguistics and English classes required for all students under that umbrella. I can edit many genres, but it's always important to know what a freelance editor specializes in. Starting with the Final Edit section, pricing is fairly straightforward. This would work well for someone who isn't interested in additional feedback, plot integrity, research, etc., and just wants grammatical errors and typos corrected. Reasons prices could go up would include any additional back-and-forth between editing and client, checking work for plagiarism, making sure links to cited sources are working and correct, and other similar things.
General editing and feedback dive a little deeper by addressing repetitive language, confusing language (this could be because of point of view integrity, too many typos, or tense issues) Things that don't make sense or need a different/added description. It includes the elements in the first column combined with the new ones. As it includes needed correspondence and extra time, it can lean towards the higher price depending on how much it goes back and forth. Significant editing and feedback are very similar to the previous column but would include rewrites needed by the client and consultation on the quality of work as well as plot-hole awareness and research into the audience. Fantasy readers, in particular, tend to be very picky and look for inconsistencies as well as accuracy within the lore. This could also include SciFi in terms of needing accurate facts. The feedback is really that fine-tooth comb you see in the details and clear vision that comes with a successful novel. Please be advised that picking one of these packages includes me reading samples from the novel to assess its readiness for editing and determine its placement on the pricing scale. *** If a novel is not ready to be in the editing stage, I'm happy to consult and discuss but will not edit until it makes sense to. This will save you money, I promise! ***
