We'll start
with an assignment sheet that documents the mission and scope of the
article, ensuring that all stakeholders are in agreement and will be
satisfied with the result. We'll provide you with whatever level of
visibility into the process you desire, from copying you on all communications
to working independently until we deliver the finished piece. All copy
will be reviewed and approved by appropriate sources/stakeholders prior
to submission. We'll even interface with editors so you don't have to.
Chez Hardy
currently works with corporate clients on two bases:
·
Per-project basis: Assignments
are taken on per project. The piecework nature of the agreement means
that it is subject to scheduling constraints and availability, although
we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
·
Retainer basis: For a modest annual retainer, you
are guaranteed time in our schedule and given priority over piecework
jobs and all but pre-existing retainer clients. The fees for the actual
work on each project are charged in addition to this retainer. We
will negotiate a regular schedule of deliverables, depending on your
needs. Any piecework projects you require outside of the scheduled
deliverables will be given priority over existing piecework projects.
We are
happy to explore a more conventional monthly retainer arrangement at
client request.
