dp Copywriting
Don't let the rates worry you, while dp is 20% below market trends already, we know times are tough. If you are an
independent or a start-up, small, emergent business let us know what you can afford and we will work with you."
dp President, Donna L. Quesinberry
While dp's technical writers write the specification manual on how-to operate load and begin using
your new software, dp's copywriters write the content that markets to educate and share the
benefits of your software for the end user. Both types of content management are integral to the
success of your product.
