FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Thumbtack is new to me as a resource. I only used it a couple of times before starting work on the tv series for a major network, that I'm just now wrapping up. Since I haven't yet established myself here, I'm charging less than my usual rate. It does go up or down depending on the length of the project, of course.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Ask for a verbal or written description of what they want. Ask questions until I think I have the information that I need from them. I will write a draft and edit based on notes I'm given. ...or the customer will accept it immediately. I'm very fast!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I read and stay current on as much as possible. I love doing this, plus it helps! I did study journalism at college, and have always written all kinds of things! I'm a member of the Writer's Guild (WGA West).
