Engage your audience

Our talented team of writers, photographers and graphic designers work closely together to produce print materials that drive the Missouri State University brand and engage your target audience.

Writing, editorial and design costs

We charge fees for our services. Charges vary by the type of job.

Writing/editing services generally include researching, writing and proofreading. Design services generally include creating concepts, directing photo shoots and working with a print vendor.

If we use outside materials, freelancers or printing, those charges will be billed to the client.

You will incur a rush charge if you need your project in a very short turnaround time (less than four to six weeks of production). A fee of 50% of the job level charge will be applied.
