I provide writing, research, newsletter production, podcast support, and other editorial services at the rates listed below.
For clients who need ongoing, multi-project support, monthly retainers (5-20 hours) are available at my standard rate.
I generally do not take on rush projects, which I define as those requiring a turnaround time shorter than 48 hours from the time I receive your deposit. If I’m able to accommodate a rush request, my rate is double the regular rate that would apply.
Note: Rates are in Canadian dollars and do not include the Canadian Goods and Services Tax, which will be added to your invoice.
For new clients, I require a 50% deposit based on the estimated project cost. This must be received before I begin work. For returning clients with a record of timely payment, the deposit is 25%.
Please note: I do not accept cheques.
I work remotely (virtually) and am usually based in Vancouver, BC (Pacific time).
If we decide to work together, I will send you a contract outlining the terms and conditions of the project. I will need to receive a signed copy from you before beginning work and will provide you with a countersigned copy.
You are welcome to book a short, free exploratory call with me to discuss your needs and questions. You can schedule a 15-minute call here.
“Karen was a wonderful contact for me at Denise Savoie’s office. She was a reliable source of information, made sure we knew about events that related to our work on the child care issue, and followed up on emails and phone calls, no matter how busy she was. Karen is passionate about her work, and it shows.”
