Getting in to Drill writing.

Posted by former 1A/2A BD on 4/25/2025, 1:43 pm

I've been writing the drill form my own bands for 10 years or so. I love writing drill and I think I'm pretty good at it.
Anyone have any tips on how to get into writing for other bands? Where to advertise (besides here)? What to charge?

Couple of things that helped me:
1) Find your niche
2) Do great work for a few bands to start
3) Be reasonable or cheaper than reasonable to start
4) Don't expect the bands you write for to win state
5) Be professional and responsive.

You can always email me at tim@brynnpark.com or call.

Most of it comes from word of mouth in my experience. I've been writing drill for 10 years and have a handful of clients that approached me after years of frustration with their current writer.

Typically I charge between $1500 and $2000. It really depends on the number of students and specific requirements of the drill itself. The more restrictions I have as a writer, the more time it takes to create a drill.
