Editorial and Design
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.

| Level 1 | $150–250 | Performing minor changes to existing publications; creation of simple projects. |
| Level 2 | $300–450 | Developing small brochures, posters and banners/displays. |
| Level 3 | $500–1,000 | Developing multiple-page publications and projects requiring substantial time, effort and resources |
