Comments on: Freelance Files: Is This Freelance Client Worth It? http://wordsonpageblog.com/2022/11/freelance-writing-blog-142.html a freelance writing resource.

Devon, that’s exactly the situation I found myself in. I’m glad to see you’d handle it as I did. These days, there has to be a stated point person/decision maker, paid revisions over two, and a frank talk when they’re rewriting so much without my input.

That last one did surprise me but not much. The firm would take weeks to even look at the draft that had to be done now Now NOW, then I suspect they fashioned themselves editors. They weren’t. In fact, two years later, that same client hired me to do said writing because the drafts they did see, they liked.

But firms know best, right? 😉

Phone calls are paid time, period. Anything over 2 revisions is billed extra. There needs to be a single point person. If the firm is rewriting my material before sending it to the client, who hates it, then the person making that decision/doing that and I need to have a come-to-Jesus talk, because it’s not my writing they want. It’s the admin work with the client, and that’s not why I’m doing this.
