Three simple ways to work with us. These are starting points — we quote every project to scope, so you always know what you're paying for. Prices show in your local currency where we support it.

Indicative starting points in USD. Every project is quoted to scope — tell us what you need and we'll send a tailored proposal.
Global rates, local cost base
We're based in South Africa, so you get top-tier work without New York or London overheads.
One team, no agency markup
Strategy, words and design under one roof — you're not paying three vendors to talk to each other.
Quoted to scope, no surprises
Every project gets an itemised proposal up front, and includes up to two rounds of review. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Rita has extensive experience in goal-oriented administration, finance and HR — she handles the preparation and analysis of financial reports in her sleep, and is a brilliant (if insomniac) scenario developer. She looks after internal costing and budgets for new projects, so every quote is sound and every project is delivered on time. Rita also runs her own financial-services company and is open to taking on new, selective clients.
Pricing & working with us
Yes — most of my work is remote and I collaborate with clients worldwide. I'm Johannesburg-born, working across time zones, so being in another country changes nothing about how we work together.
Institutional and higher-education writing above all: annual and conference reports, strategy documents, opinion pieces, speeches, briefing notes, concept papers and programme materials. I also develop curricula and learning materials for health and youth-education programmes.
The packages on the pricing page are starting points. Final cost depends on scope, so I quote each project individually after a short conversation. You'll get a clear, itemised proposal before any work begins — no surprises.
Each project includes up to two rounds of review and revision. Extended, multi-stage review cycles are the single biggest driver of cost and delay, so keeping it to two keeps your quote predictable — anything beyond that is simply quoted separately.
Yes. My craft is the words, research and structure, but I manage whole publications end to end — briefing trusted design partners, overseeing layout, and managing budget, timeframes and print quality. You deal with one person throughout.
Absolutely. Some clients need a single report, an article or a speech; others hand me a whole publication or programme. The Starter package exists for one focused piece of work.
South African clients are invoiced in Rand; international clients in USD. Prices on the site switch automatically to your local currency. I accept bank transfer — project work is typically split into a deposit and a balance on delivery, and retainers are billed monthly. I'll confirm the details in your proposal.
Have something to say? Let's make sure it's understood.
Tell me what you're working on. I'll give you an honest view of how I can help — and what it takes to get it done.
