Description

Whether you’re a job-poster wondering what to pay a freelancer, or you’re a freelancer quoting a project, our pay rates report can get you started. It features regularly updated freelance writing rates for a range of different types of creatives. Our latest report is based on our most recent 2023 pay rates survey and results from surveys of other respected industry organisations.

This is a report we compiled to help our job-posters who weren’t sure what to pay freelancers, but it took on a bit of a life of its own when our job-seekers found out about it – and it’s since been downloaded and shared hundreds of times.

Our pay rates report covers freelance writing rates for:

  • copywriters and different copywriting tasks
  • content writing and content strategy rates
  • journalist day rates and average word rates
  • sub-editors, editors and proofreaders
  • ghost-writing (books)
  • social media writers, managers and strategists
  • graphic designers
  • coaching and training
  • corporate comms and PR
  • podcast producing
  • and more!

Also included in our new report:

  • How to write a good job ad (one that’s effective, and draws the right applicants in)
  • What we need from you if you’d like us to write your ad for you
