Work Terms

My base rate is 10 cents per word. However, I can go under or over that depending on the nature of the work. I am open for negotiation and flexible. The one thing I promise is that we will agree on rate, requirements and deadlines before anything is accepted. My main goal is to find an amicable solution for both parties.
