Service Pricing

Once we confirm your order, we’ll connect you to the appropriate payment portal. (For writing services deposit details, please see our FAQ or our Terms & Conditions.)

Excellence seldom comes at a bargain.

Business promotion tools, job search instruments, and personal heirlooms are investment pieces. Therefore, it’s understandable that premium products typically carry prices that reflect their quality and long-term value.

As professional writing services go, our fees are rarely the lowest or the highest. In determining them, we consider writing complexity, prewriting necessities, formatting requirements, and our expertise and practices.

At The Formey Touch, fixed fees are reserved for documents and/or services of predictable length and complexity. Quoted pricing applies to more intricate jobs.
