Pricing Policy for Writing Projects
Since writing projects are unique by nature, Global does not offer a standard price list. Rather, we consult with you on your objectives, your target audience, your subject matter and your medium, and then provide suggestions on how best to relay your messages. We give you options and help you understand the various offerings so you can select one that best suits your purpose.
Generally, pricing for a writing / editing project depends on:
1. Subject Matter - Our writers can handle most subjects of a general nature. If your subject matter pertains to specialized knowledge that only someone who has expertise or experience in that field can handle, e.g. IT manual or medical report, then the pricing would take into consideration the level of difficulty and specialization.
2. Length - In most cases, the price increases with the length of the text. You would expect to pay more for 12 pages of web content than six pages, more for a 500-word magazine article than a 300-word one... and so on.
3. Turnaround Time - As with any assignment, a rush job commands a higher premium.
4. Materials Supplied - We expect our writers to familiarize themselves on the subject that they undertake. The more source materials you provide -- your company/organizational profile, your product/service offerings, background information, previous related published materials, websites, competitors' information, or other information of relevance -- the less research time is required of our professionals. In addition, if you have a clear idea on the critical messages and information you need to include, that helps to save time. On the other hand, if the information that you provide is scant, and our writers are left to conduct extensive research to develop the content, the pricing will reflect that.

Choosing a Professional Writer
With the increasing popularity of doing business over the Internet, numerous writing services have emerged with price structures, competencies, and quality that vary dramatically. Some service providers even resort to stealing published materials. They change the company name references, substitute some words with synonyms found on Thesaurus, convert some sentences from active voice to passive voice or vice versa, and then pretend that the outcome is their original piece of work. Using plagiarised material can be extremely embarrassing and costly. In addition, lack of originality often results in ineffective marketing.
For professional writing services, a low rate generally translates into inferior work. Good writers know what they are worth, and charge accordingly. When your company's reputation or the success of a new product - rests on effective communication, it doesn't pay to consider price alone. Before choosing a writing service provider, you need to consider the following:
Quality
We ensure quality by hiring writers who hold degrees in language, literature, communications, business, technical or areas of specialization for which they are writing. Writing projects are assigned to writers who are native to or familiar with the geographical regions in which the target audience resides. Writers will be matched to projects based on their strengths and styles - a brochure on a serious health issue will require a different skill set than that of a humorous commercial. Delivery
The advantage of partnering with a service provider like Global is that we offer you a one-stop shop experience. After the writing is complete, we can convert the text to the proper format for print, web or multimedia presentation. We can provide graphic design to match the text, insert the text in your specified layouts, merge the text with other graphics, photos or images, or even provide voiceover for the text for multimedia presentations. Having all the services performed under one roof is more economical and time efficient than having to coordinate these services among several providers.
