Bodacious Copy Rates & Services

 

I charge an hourly rate based on words converted to pages because it is more cost-effective for the author than a per-word count. All rates are in Canadian dollars. 


You can pay using Interac e-Transfer or Paypal. Log on to PayPal and use this email address: bodaciouscopy@gmail.com. 


Call me for a quote at +1-613-453-2419 or email me at the address above. 

I guarantee a speedy response to your inquiry, encouragement, empathy, and swift project completion. And once your work is ready for publishing, I can advise you about a traditional marketing plan and create a strategic social media marketing plan to help you spread the word and sell it!
