Before You Assign

A few good questions.

Services, rates, and how to get started.

Do you work with college and high school programs?

Yes. Monthly coverage packages are available for college and high school athletic websites and programs. Coverage can include recaps, athlete profiles, previews, and program features, with sports, story volume, and deadlines agreed in advance.

What do monthly athletic coverage packages cost?

Packages range from $500 to $1,500 per month. The final quote depends on the number of sports, article volume, reporting requirements, and publishing schedule. Each package has an agreed scope before work begins.

Which sports do you cover?

Coverage includes football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross country, tennis, baseball, softball, wrestling, and other sports by arrangement. Professional sports coverage focuses on MLB, NFL, and NBA.

Are the articles written by AI?

No. I write every article myself. AI is used only to assist research; facts and sources are independently checked. The writing, judgment, and editorial responsibility are mine.

Can I commission just one article?

Yes. Professional sports articles range from $30 to $250 each, political articles from $100 to $300 each, and investigative projects from $1,000 to $3,000. Final pricing depends on scope, reporting needs, length, and deadline.

Do you also write web copy and white papers?

Yes. Articles, blog posts, website copy, white papers, and reports are available. Share your audience, goals, desired length, and deadline for a custom quote.

How soon can you start, and what should I send?

Use the inquiry form to share your publication or school, service needed, assignment details, target date, and estimated budget. Include your website, sports, and expected article volume when relevant. Availability and delivery dates are confirmed after reviewing the assignment.

Can you guarantee on-site game coverage?

On-site attendance is discussed separately and must be confirmed before an assignment is agreed. Please specify the location and whether the work requires attendance, interviews, or coverage using supplied game information.
