Fee Structure
Any agreed upon professional writing services will be provided either on retainer i.e. ongoing work with set hours per month or on a project basis i.e. flexible hours each month until a project reaches completion.
The first two months of a retainer contract are considered a free trial with no obligation to proceed further. During this time, we provide an Organizational Profile, a Need Statement, research of potential grant funders, and a Funding Source Report. At the end of the free trial, the nonprofit can decide if the consultant's services are useful to their organization.
If the organization has agreed to work with Literary Faerie Consulting on a retainer basis, services will be ongoing throughout the year. Services for retainer contracts or projects may include research, proposal drafts, annual report drafts, general business document creation, editing and proofreading of a variety of materials, follow-up progress reports to funding agencies, and other writing work to be decided.
Invoices will be provided at the beginning of each month for the previous month. Retainer work is set at twenty hours per month. In the event that work exceeds twenty hours per month, a $20 hourly rate will apply. Retainer fees are $300 per month, which breaks down to $15 per hour. Project fees are $20 per hour. Project work varies from 1 hour to 40 hours per month, depending on the size and depth of the project. Estimates will be given at the start of the contract.
