The Best of FWJ:15 Blog Posts About Rates

We have  a lot of gems in the FWJ vault. There’s over four years of discussion posts here, all geared towards helping writers further their careers. As I was away for most of this weekend and have a lot of catching up to do, I thought it might be a good idea to do a “best of” post. This week, it’s all about rates.

The majority of mail received here is about rates. Some writers are confused at what to charge. Other writers are angry about what various clients pay. We’ve had some heated debates and some intelligent discussion. Here’s the Best of FWJ: Rates Edition.
