MONEY STUFFMy basic hourly rate varies between £15 - 25, and I also charge by the job: for example proofing a book, editing a series of leaflets, doing a full set of marketing materials for a business. But I'm open to negotiation and sometimes accept an exchange of skills (Marcus paid me in pots). Try me! Usually I’ll invoice you (30 day terms) and expect prompt payment. If this is not forthcoming, not only will you get some seriously heavy karma, but I will come and sit on your doorstep and tell everyone what a meanie you are (and if you’re really intransigent I’ll start singing). PROOFREADING £15.00 per hour and you need to send me readable material - whether it's reams of paper, a word doc, PDF or CD. EDITING The hourly rate of £20.00 covers mild-to-serious tidying up; if you're not from Earth, write with your tongue sticking out, or English isn't your first language, it'll be more.And finally... “A writer is someone who can’t not write.” Sol Stein “All writing is a disease. You can’t stop it.” William Carlos Williams, writer “The point of good writing is knowing when to stop.” Lucy Montgomery, novelist “Once writing has become your greatest vice and pleasure, only death can stop it.” Ernest Hemingway, writer “Most people won’t realise that writing is a craft. You have to take your apprenticeship in it like anything else.” Katherine Porter, novelist “Writing is ... waiting for the word that may not be there until next Tuesday.” Richard Wilbur, poet “Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.” Alice Walker, writer “A degree in English is the worst possible setback to being a good copywriter.” Me
