It has always been my intention to offer excellent value for money with my work, and as such I offer flexible charges depending on the type of work, length of piece, and who the work is being done for.

In addition, the costs will depend on whether you expect to own the outright copyright on the piece, and where you plan to use the work. For example, an article for a print-based publication will cost more than one intended for online use only, as would work where the client wished to own the copyright of the piece.

For commercial print magazines, I would expect the standard rate of pay offered for freelancers, whether this is on a per article or per page basis. Naturally, these will fluctuate between publishers and even between publications.

If you are looking for content for non-profit making magazines or websites, I can offer significantly reduced rates compared with those expected for commercial publication.

Example Prices

All of the prices here are for an article or feature of between 1,000 and 2,000 words:

Commercial magazine - £40
Commercial website - £25
Non-profit making magazine - £25
Non-profit making website - £10

For larger pieces of work, for example product manuals, ongoing features, series of articles etc. please get in touch to discuss these further.

In addition to written work, I can offer a limited graphic design service producing logos and navigation buttons for websites. For example, I could provide a logo similar to that at the top of this site, navigation buttons, banners and most other basic design work. The prices for graphic design are listed below. These rates are for commercial purposes and will be lower for non-profit making organisations or individuals:

Logo - £15
Banner - £10
Animated banner - £18
Buttons (per 20) - £25
Full site set (logo, buttons and one banner) - £45

Prices for other work, such as web design, event co-ordination, and other roles not featured here are to be discussed on a job-by-job basis between myself and my client.
