Pricing Information

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

All service fees are payable in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are GST n/a.

Payment Terms

For new clients, jobs under $1,000 must be paid in advance. Larger jobs may be paid in (agreed) instalments — usually 50% upfront and 50% payable on delivery of 1st draft.

Jobs for long-standing clients must be paid within (7) days or in (agreed) instalments.

Payment Methods

I accept payments by Bank Deposit (Australian/NZ customers), Credit Card, and PAYPAL. Credit card and PAYPAL payments incur a processing fee of 3%.

An official invoice/receipt that displays my Australian Business Number (ABN) and trading address is issued for every job.

Intellectual Property

Full ownership (and copyright) of the completed writing transfers to the client upon full payment of fees.

Editing and Reviews

I work with you until you are 100% satisfied with your copy. Sometimes it takes one or two edits, but most of my writing jobs are approved on first draft.

Content Quality

All content is 100% original and fully researched using primary documents and other reliable sources.

I do not outsource to other writers or rely on generative AI for final output. Everything is researched and written by me, Melinda J. Irvine.

Artificial Intelligence

Since early 2025, Artificial Intelligence has become part of my creative process, but as a support tool and not an author.

Confidentiality

I respect the confidentiality of my clients and am happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before commencing your assignment.
