Elaine Larkin is examining freelance rates in Ireland so we have some timely, relevant information on the resources section of the website. Could any freelancers out there please drop her an email to elaine at elainelarkin dot ie to let her know your experience?
The information received will NOT be attributed but will allow us to build up a picture of rates and payment times.
Also, are there people who are NOT paying you even though they said they would? Time to name and shame?
Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what trade mags are paying compared to printed or online magazines? Regional vs. daily and weekly nationals? Tabloids? Websites? Radio? TV?
Please pass this on to as many journos as you know so we can pull together a comprehensive overview of pay in the freelance world.
