At age 6, I began putting pencil to paper
for my first short story. After getting rave reviews from my storytelling grandmother I was hooked on writing. During high school my journalism teacher nurtured my ability where I applied for a gifted writers program and won. The following year I received a full tuition scholarship for journalism and by 21 years old I'd written for three various newspapers with circulations in the tens of thousands. Today, I hold an Associates of Science degree in journalism and
psychology - two areas that help when it comes to
making client copy that sells.
I have been read by 13
million readers through iSyndicate and Comtex News Service. After finding my stories on-line I was contacted by the Editor-in-Chief of Upbeat Online. She thought my work was amazing and asked me to write for her magazine and pen a few screenplays. In the months that followed she asked, "If I gave you a million dollars what would you still be doing tomorrow that you're doing today." The answer was instantaneous - writing. She said, "That's what you should be
doing full-time." So with my husband and daughter supporting my decision, I quit the nine-to-five grind shortly thereafter to start my own full-time writing company.
I'm happy to say we've helped business get promotion
they tried months to get in a matter of weeks or even days. I've had articles read by millions of readers across the
globe and I have a growing business that includes myself and other writers,
editors, webmasters and artists. Winters Productions is helping others say things that they themselves
cannot and at prices that serious businesses can
afford...To say I'm overjoyed is an understatement.
Serving
new clients is always a treat but one of the greatest
rewards is
seeing returning faces. Helping people and having them
return has wonderful monetary value to be sure. But
the greatest joy is knowing we've helped someone and
that they trust us to come back again and again.
Although we have close to an 80% returning client rate
we still love to meet new people everyday.
And as long as my mind and eyesight are sharp enough, I'll be writing
until the day I die.
So
like Somerset Maugham
once said, "We do not write because we want to; we write because we
have to." It's a passion. It's a need that must be filled in order to survive, like air. We
write because as Somerset said...we simply
have to.

| Flat fee
quotes work best. You'll know UPFRONT what the charge will be on a project with no 'hidden costs' like
hourly fees, research fees, re-write fees, etc. Our philosophy is once a project
starts a client shouldn't have to worry about 'How much more will
THAT cost?' Some firms don't advise their clients of such
fees, but we do.
Plus, flat fee quotes work.
Nearly 80% of our clients return because A) we deliver what we promise and B) they know they can expect quality service and no unfortunate surprises.
Any queries you make
are usually within 24 hours, but no longer than 48 (We do take Sundays off to rest our typing fingers
J ) so contact
us today about your project.

Payment
Methods and Terms
|
Winters
Productions accepts various forms of payment - checks,
money orders or credit cards via Paypal (5%
additional charge applies for Paypal orders).
Our
terms for new customers is half of the total due at
the project start and the other half paid upon project
completion.
As
we often explain to clients, think of us as a house
contractor. You can request a new roof on your home,
but the contractor doesn't do the work without money
down. When he finishes the roof, you pay the balance.
The same is true with Winters Productions. |
