As founder of The Flawless Word, I know just how important your written content is to your image and reputation. That’s why I treat every project as if it were my own…because when it comes right down to it, it is. Rest assured that I don’t take the “flawless” part of my company’s name lightly. In fact, every sentence, word and syllable I create is finessed until it suits my clients’ needs perfectly.

Payment Terms
Turnaround time is usually 24 hours for small projects, but as the one and only person who will handle your project, I can adjust my schedule to suit most needs. If you need it sooner, just ask! On projects totalling $500 or less, I require a 50% upfront depost from first-time clients. To ease the cost burden, installment payments are always welcome on larger-scale assignments.
