I work in the editing/publications field as my full-time job, and have recently been approached and offered some freelance proofreading work 'on the side'. This is great, as ultimately I'd like to strike out on my own and go freelance full-time.
However they have asked me my hourly rate, and I'm not sure what to say as I've only ever worked in-house before. What would be a reasonable rate for someone who is experienced but has not built up a name for themself as a freelancer? Also, I have no idea how long they expect the work to take. Is there a general guide to words per hour for a decent proofreader?
