MAI PHOTO NEWS AGENCY PRICING: WRITING

© Greg E.Mathieson / 2007 MAI Photo News AgencyGenerally, most writing assignments involve little in the way of travel or expenses. But should MAI writers have to travel and work at a project or corporate location, after the initial consultation, that would be bill the same as Video Services.

Writing in conjunction with Video Services above usually involves extensive re-writing as the video editing evolves into the finished project. We will take that into account during the bidding process. As an example, the writer will provide a first and second draft as part of the original bid. Any re-writing beyond that will be negotiated at the time of the contract.

Writer for a long term multi-media effort: quoted by the project.
