: Hi Liz

: Are you a member of any of the linguistic institutes? They usually publish a rates guide for freelancers. It is hard to say exactly but I would suggest anywhere between Ł50 and Ł75 per 1000 words, dependent on the geographical location of the agency you are selling to. If you have qualifications to back you up as well you may well be able to ask for more money, an affiliation to the IoL of ITI will help. My agency is based in Manchester and we would not be able to pay as high as Ł75/1000 but certainly in the London area I see no reason why you couldn't ask for this.

: I hope this helps a little.

: Kind regards and good luck
