Rate Transparency Report (Spring 2024)
Foreword Literary Consulting conducts semiannual rate transparency reports for three reasons.
First, the survey is the backbone of ongoing Creative Matchmaking negotiations until the next iteration.
Second, it encourages other contractors in the field to openly discuss and consider their rates, rather than keep the money talk taboo and encourage price gauging to stay competitive.
And third but most importantly: to provide all who hire contractors for these key publishing deliverables with more reactive, real-time data than the annual survey, encouraging fair, responsive, and responsible pay for all they engage with on a freelance/contract basis.
