Greetings Everyone,
I was recently hired as an independent contractor to document software for a
video game. This is my very first contracting position.
How do I approach that all-important, but uncomfortable subject of money?
What should I charge? Should I charge my client by the hour. Or should I
charge by the project? What conditions should I spell out in a contract?
