Ask the Mercenary Writer: Talk About Revisions Over Coffee For Free or For Fee?

Hi Heather,

Here’s a good question for your blog, should you have time for blogging again. A client hired me to do his cover design. I sent him the first version of his full cover last night.  He says he has a few minor changes for me, and he wants to get together at a coffee shop to talk about them. Should I charge for the time?

(Pricing and Ethical Guidelines covers consulting fees, but I don’t think this counts as a consultation, since we’re talking about work I’ve done.)

–Susan

My quick answer is that you could give him two options; $__ for telephone conference to go over revisions, or $___ for an hour at a coffee shop. After an hour if you linger to socialize, that’s on your dime.

At least that is the theory. I almost always do social time, even around work projects, for free… One reason I don’t get out much anymore these days. Sigh…

Heather
