The DRAFT ROOOM runs a vetted bench of 100 brand and content specialisms in Melbourne, Australia, from SEO and conversion copywriting to technical, journalism and regulated sector writing. Every specialist is native to the market, briefed by email, reviewed by a senior editor and invoiced through The DRAFT ROOOM. Quotes can be issued in AUD and work starts within days, not weeks.

We publish a first name and surname initial only, because every specialist is contracted to us and their client work is confidential. Email us and we introduce you by name.

Australian buyers research hard before they enquire, and they can spot imported American copy in a line. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so the retail peak sits across a hot Christmas and a January reset. Local proof, local spelling and clear pricing matter more here than volume.
Specialists here work inside Melbourne business hours across Victoria, write in the spelling and register buyers in Australia expect, and can be quoted in AUD. Languages on this bench: English. If you also want the work managed end to end rather than resourced, our managed service in Melbourne covers strategy, production and reporting.

Terms and trust
Plain terms, written down before you commit to anything.
You are a client of The DRAFT ROOOM, not the personal client of the specialist. The contract, the invoice, the confidentiality agreement and the copyright assignment all sit with us.
If a specialist becomes unavailable for any reason, including leaving our bench, we reassign a peer level specialist from the same market and the same discipline at no extra cost. Your brief, your voice guide and your work in progress stay with us, so nothing restarts.
Project work is 50 per cent on acceptance of the scope and 50 per cent on final delivery. Retainers are 50 per cent before the month starts and 50 per cent at the end of that month.
Full commercial copyright transfers to you on final payment. Every specialist has signed a confidentiality agreement and an intellectual property assignment with us before taking a single brief.
Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior Draft ROOOM editor against your brief and your voice guide before it reaches you. Two rounds of revision are included as standard.
Process
Email first from brief to final file. Nothing here needs a meeting.
Step 1
Use the form on this page or write to us directly. Tell us the deliverable, the volume, the deadline and any budget range. No call is needed at any point.
Step 2
You receive a named specialist, their relevant background, a fixed price and a delivery date. If the match is not right, say so and we send an alternative.
Step 3
A short written scope covers deliverables, revisions and dates. Work starts once the deposit clears.
Step 4
Drafts come by email or into your client dashboard, already reviewed by a senior editor. You reply with comments in the same thread.
Step 5
You receive final files, full copyright and, for ongoing work, next month's plan.
