Medical Writing - How Much Should I Charge For My Freelance Projects?
New freelance writers often ask how much they should charge for a particular medical writing project. There is no definitive answer to that: some freelancers charge per hour, others charge per word, and still others charge per project.
I have met medical writers who never charge a flat fee, no matter the project–they think in terms of how much their time is worth. Other writers, however, prefer not to tally hours, but instead put a fixed price on a project–is their decision how many hours to invest in the project.
