CHAPTER 15

Setting Fees and Getting Paid

One question new freelancers often ask is “How much should I charge?” The short answer is “It’s not your choice.” While many forms of self-employment enable one to set one’s own rates, freelance writing is the exception. In this business, rates are determined by the market, and freelancers have little control over what they are paid. In addition, most markets are notoriously inflexible. If a magazine pays ten cents per word, don’t expect to talk them into twenty-five cents per word.

There are other ways, however, to determine your preferred rate of pay, even if you can’t convince editors to loosen their purse strings.
