I have a question for my fellow writers, do you charge by the word or do you set a fixed fee for the entire project?

Fixed fee for the entire project gets me the most jobs if I'm being honest. Don't know if it's entirely fair to me though.

Learning that this is the landscape of what we do and not so excited about it. Wish I could just change by the word but know it's going to be a grind to start.

I’ve never had a budget large enough to pay by the word…some well-known writers can swing it, but it’s super rare to give to a newer/unknown writer. When it comes to rates, editors are working with one hand tied behind their backs since budgets come from the C-suite, but we often have some minor discretion. If you work well with an editor & regularly turn in clean/accurate copy on time, you should def ask for a rate bump! It still won’t be by the word, but most editors want to pay writers more!
