I need fast advice on fees from anyone with experience writing training
manuals. I'm meeting in the next few days with a well-known consulting
firm that has asked me to rewrite an inhouse training manual for them.
It is a fairly simple editorial and rewrite job - no research is
involved - that will probably involve only 30 days' work or so. I need
to suggest a per diem fee, but I'm not sure what ballpark I'm in. Their
own consultants are billed at between $100-$200/hour, but those fees
must also cover a large overhead. They are impressed by my credentials,
which includes a Ph.D. from a prestigious school and lots of writing
experience. My favorite strategy is to ask "<span style='color:red'>what's your budget?" </span>- but
I'm not sure that that strategy will work with a savvy consulting firm.
If anyone with experience in educational design is out there, please
*e-mail* me your advice ASAP. Thanks!
