Pricing Perfection with Suzanne Bowness
Freelance editors enjoy a host of freedoms, from setting our own hours and deciding the services we are going to offer to choosing the people and organizations we want to work with. But with the freedom of running your own business comes the challenge of managing the marketing, doing all the admin, and, perhaps most daunting, figuring out fair pricing for your services.
In this month’s general meeting, Suzanne Bowness, author of The Feisty Freelancer, will lead a presentation all about pricing. Understand some of the different pricing models and strategies available, how and when to raise your rates, and when it’s okay to say no or accept less. There will also be some sample project descriptions to test your estimating skills against fellow editors and a frank discussion about editors’ current rates, so come prepared to talk numbers!
