Hi all,
I hope that this has not been discussed anywhere else ... I could not find anything specific, so if I missed it, my apologies.
I have an acquaintance who would like me to edit articles for his real estate magazine. He is talking about ~15 articles a month. This is all a bit short-notice, and he will call me tomorrow to discuss the contract ... but I have NO idea about rates. I know how editors are paid in Germany (where I come from), but I haven't really done this work here in the US ... are you guys getting paid by word/article/hour?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, so that tomorrow when he calls he won't screw me over or I won't ask for a totally unacceptable amount.
Thanks a lot!
Best,
Aileen
