The Problem

Early freelancing often feels improvised.

A new client says yes and you scramble to assemble a proposal. You finish a project and wonder how to close it without awkwardness.

The work itself may be strong, but the way you present it tells another story.

First impressions matter.

Without structure, you risk underselling yourself and reinforcing the idea that freelance work is somehow less professional than agency work.

The Promise

The Freelancer Starter Kit is a set of working documents designed to help you enter the room prepared. Each template has been built from lived experience and tested in practice. They will help you set terms, share your work, and guide your client relationships with ease.

Inside you’ll find:

  • A portfolio template that elevates your work
  • A proposal document that outline scope and value clearly
  • Onboarding and offboarding surveys that shape a thoughtful client journey
  • A curated reading list drawn from years of writing and business practice

The kit doesn’t just organise your work. It sets a tone. It shows your clients you are serious about what you do. It establishes your executive presence.

What's Inside The Freelancer Starter Kit

Why Word.Haus

 

This kit was created by Tessa Carranza-Hawthorn, a lawyer-turned-writer who has built a creative business from the ground up. Her background brings both rigour and imagination. Each template reflects a belief that freelancing can be professional without losing its creative edge.

Testimonials

Kat Coate, Lawyer turned Strategist

“Tessa’s approach blends the professional and the creative seamlessly. Her background as a serious tech lawyer make all the Word.Haus offerings not only feel informed, but have deeply reassured me it’s possible to make a big career transition in my thirties.”

Isabella Royce, Lawyer turned Copywriter

––

“I’ve worked through all the offerings from Word.Haus, from Sonic Study to the Live Demos and Template packs. As a former lawyer myself, I take a lot of comfort in Tessa’s professional background, which comes through so clearly in her delivery (minus the airs and graces). Word.Haus has been invaluable not just in helping me build a profitable writing business, but in helping me show up to my practice with understanding of my worth.”

Hiring a lawyer to draft these agreements and policies would set you back thousands. Even off-the-shelf templates cost $100+ each. This kit gives you all three — contracts, policies, disclaimers — crafted by a lawyer-turned-copywriter who speaks your creative language, for less than a single generic template.
