What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
Wondering if anyone can give advice on how to determine a fair rate/contract for freelance print buying? I am a production manager and am considering taking a freelance job for two independent authors who are self-publishing a book. They want me to work with printers and designers to establish the technical design of the book, get print quotes, negotiate printing/manufacturing costs with the printers, manage the production schedules, and insure the printers provide the quality product they expect.
These duties are what I typically have done working for other companies throughout my career, and have never ventured out on my own. I have no idea of what to charge them or what kind of contract I should enter in. Hopefully someone can give me a little help. Thanks.
