Hourly rates

Postby LizzieW » Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:40 pm

I've been working mostly as an in-house proofreader but I'm now about to take on more freelance work instead. I'm a bit out of touch with a realistic hourly rate. Does anyone have any advice on the minimum I should quote? Thanks.

Thanks gpuss. I think that helps! At least I know I'm not the only one who finds it difficult.

Oh, and remember to overpromise and underdeliver.
