Project Briefing
Let's talk about the project ahead. Discussing details now helps ensure you get everything you're dreaming of the first time around. While I've left you an "other" option in case you can't define a certain aspect right now, please try to answer everything as fully as possible to get the results you want.

We may also need to have a phone conversation to go through this together. It's important that we agree on what the project is so I can WOW you with the results!

Thank you! Leah Presser

Who, exactly, has the authority to sign this off? Who will be involved in giving feedback? It’s best that I work with one client ‘editor’ who can commission and sign off projects and who collates all the feedback from internal stakeholders. (Note that material changes from the agreed brief may incur extra costs and delays.) *

Will this piece retain my byline or will you publish it under your name? (You always own the rights to all the work you've commissioned and paid for in full.) *
Regardless of whose name it's published under, will I be able to link to the project on my online portfolio? (You always own all work after I receive payment in full, and I never seek to republish your content. It is beneficial to me if I can link to prior work I’ve done as examples in my online portfolio. ) *
What is your budget for this project? *
