The question of price for a writer and publisher is always a tricky one. The writer wants to get what they think they are worth, but the publisher wants to pay the least amount.

Hopefully they can meet in the middle and agree on a price that works for both parties.

But what is a fair price?

Having been a writer and publisher myself I know that payments vary considerably. If you have a sniff around the web you can find ridiculous prices quoted on forums like Digitalpoint for $5 an article. I doubt the buyer and seller of such articles could stay in business for long.

But writing has always been low paid, as there is a lot of competition and entry to the market is low. Get a good reputation and deliver results and your price can rise. Some sales copywriters charge thousands for a few days work.

I want to know what you think.

How much should you charge for writing?
