Expanded and retold from its first appearance at Copyediting.com, this episode explores market rates. Specifically, what to do when other editors are charging a lot less. Like, “slave wages” less. In the next podcast I will talk about some ways to find out about market rates, and give you a two-step trick for setting your own rates that suit the precise market you are in. No voice acting in this one, sorry.
