I'm sure this subject has been covered somewhere here before, but I can't find it. Does anyone here charge for author school visits? And if so, how much do you usually charge?
The SOA recommend £250 per full day and £150 per half day. Is that the going rate?
Comments
The SoA rates are the going rates, and I know children's authors who charge them. Many authors feel that one should not do it for less, on principle. But you could always say it was your first one (if it is) and offer a lower rate on this basis.
After all there is a lot of preparation needed even for half a day, plus travelling to get to the school and so on.
