Subscription Services

Question…

We’d like to hire Writeaway to be available whenever we need a document written. Or edited. But we don’t want to pay on an hourly basis or per document. Can we just reserve some Writeaway time every month? Whether we use it or not? To use whenever we need it? Even a little bit here, a little bit there?

That’s all he had to do.  One vote, the margin between victory and defeat.  Just four votes total. He’d wear that t-shirt now and then, but it no longer fits. Better to lose big and walk away.

Ghostwriting

“Boo!!”

Just kidding. For the record, rest assured, all of us at Writeaway are alive and well. No ghosts here.  Not yet anyway.

But do we do ghostwriting? Do we write speeches and other materials that our business, campaign and non-profit clients disseminate under their names and not ours? Are you kidding? Of course we do. In fact, that’s exactly what we do. All the time.
