More On Billing
A few days ago I published Don’t Cheat Yourself!! (What Should Be Included On Your Invoice?). The post dealt with how we should bill for all aspects of the writing process.
Yesterday I ran across this link to the rate calculator at FreelanceSwitch on Kivi Leroux Miller’s site.
I thought, what a great tool! Writers are always wondering what they should charge for their services. This tool allows you to input business and personal expense factors as well as the number of hours that you work to find a liveable billing rate.
This tool could also be used by workers who are trying to decide whether or not they should quit their day job and become a freelancer.
(By the way, if you haven’t visited FreelanceSwitch yet, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of nifty articles on freelancing there.)

This is good for us writers to really sit and think about how much our writing is worth, and the value of words.
Thanks,

Thanks Paula!
I think sometimes writers are lured into doing work more cheaply than they should by the promise of large lump sum payments.
