RATES

Rates, of course, vary depending on the project, frequency and degree of difficulty.

What follows is not, and never has been, etched in stone, but if it doesn't fit - don't submit!

As a general guideline, I look for assignments that pay between $.40 and $1.00 per word, or an approximate equivalent based on the estimated number of words agreed upon when working on a flat-rate assignment.

For on-going, daily and weekly news/feature assignment sources, special rates may always be negotiated.

Unless I've built up a professional rapport with a particular editor or client, I DO NOT write on "spec."

General rates for producing assigned material is based on researching and writing time alone.

Expenses (i.e., travel, telephone, special equipment or materials) should be defined before any project is accepted.

HTML formatting, or submitting material in other than MSWORD, Works, WordPerfect, Text, or RTF should be discussed and outlined prior to any contractual agreement.

Again, this is meant as a general guideline of my wishes, but the truth is always that I am willing to discuss any writing opportunity.
