So any thoughts on this; I'm being paid an hourly wage for a freelance type article for an academic publication. It's an interview based article and I'm being paid an intern's wage at about 21 USD per hour. It is taking me a considerable amount of time as I really have to think about the writing - it's not a magazine fluff piece, and it will be about 5 pages long per request from the editor. How many hours is the company expecting me to charge them for? My actual work hours are about 18 at this point (this includes conducting the interview, and the entire writing process), so a little over two entire workdays. I expect the actual hours to fall at around 3 workdays. For professionals, the Finnish union for this stuff says writing fees (articles and whatnot) should be at minimum 104 euros per 28-30 rows. Right now I have about three times that and I've charged for 324€.
You see the problem is, as a student I don't know what they're usually charged for this sort of stuff and I don't want it to be too high. Thoughts?
Any professionals you can reach out to? Its an academic pub so did you ask a teacher? If all else fails just ask your editor im sure there's a middle ground you can reach
