Question:
How much should I charge per word for freelance writing?
I'm wanting to get into doing part-time freelance writing and don't know what I should charge. I wrote a couple articles in college for our school paper and philosophy journal and recently had something published in Relevant Magazine. I was thinking around .20 or .25?
Answers:
If you charge that much, you won't get much business. Most freelance writers who take 'contracts' either get the contract for the 'finished piece' at a negotiated price, or uses a 'per page' charge of anywhere from $1.50-10.00 per page, depending on size and content.
