Re: question about rates


Thanks, Gene and Carol, for your replies.  The editor in question is proposing a lump sum that will work out to $0.50 a word which I suppose isn't so bad in the current economy.  If I'm hesitating, it's because the writing of the article is just part of the work involved.  As mentioned before, I've already spent a couple of hours writing the initial query and exchanging upwards of 15 e-mails with them to finally get the go-ahead.  Plus, they'll be sending out a photographer for pictures to go with the story which will also take a couple hours of my time.  The proposed rate seems quite low to me placed in the larger context.
