Value: A New Pricing Consideration for Freelancers

The Writers’ Co-op

Welcome to the 4th season of TWC, where Jenni and Wudan will dig into persistent themes and issues that we haven't had time to cover in seasons past. During this season, anything goes!

We’re kicking off this string of episodes with a conversation about value. Writers and creatives often grow up in a world where their work isn’t valued. See: the journalism industry, where we’re persistently told by publishers that it’s somehow okay to spend weeks on a story and get paid a few hundred bucks for your reporting, research, writing, and other labor. So the big question is: How do we break out of that mindset and see ourselves as valuable? And how do we use the value we provide for our clients in a practical context when it comes to negotiating prices?
