These are the rules

Rule 1: Don’t be a cheap ass

The Cocky Writer is not a bargain-basement operation. We don’t do “discounts” or “deals.” We’re not going to “work with your budget.” You get what you pay for, and if you want the best, be prepared to invest.

Rule 2: Don’t be a pain in the ass

We’re professionals, and we expect you to be too. That means showing up on time for meetings, being prepared, and following through on your commitments. If you don’t, we’ll invoice you for cocky blocking. Not to mention, it’s just rude.

Rule 3: Don’t be an entitled ass

Just because you’re paying us, it doesn’t mean you own us. We have other clients, and you are all VIPs. If you want us to do our best work for you, treat us with respect and stick to reasonable requests. We’ll do the same for you.

Side Note: Our rules were inspired by Willie Nelson's family rules as shared on Brené Brown's podcast.
