Thanks Erin, that does help. It's editing work that she has for me, I was gonna ask for $50 an hour.

$50 for editing is pretty decent, Burrell. Sounds good!
Have fun! I'm a freak -- I looooove editing and copyediting. *pets style guides and multiple dictionaries adoringly*

Erin. What is a fair rate for heavy layout for a glossy graphic heavy magazine? That includes cropping, sizing and do other types of graphic editing to raw graphics. Also stuff like working with client to select fonts. Maybe some critique -as in "I can't use that photo, provide another that does not have problem x".
The link you provided only went through newletters, but I presume magazines are a very different animal in terms of work and price.

Typo, I'm really sorry, but I don't have an answer. I have no experience with the graphics/layout/formatting end of publishing magazines.
I found this, and it might give you more of an idea to work with: [link]
I HATE not having answers! :(

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Typo, I think any magazine would have its own staff who would do that. I work for an association that puts out a quarterly magazine; we've outsourced it to a publisher which takes care of layout, image editing, etc. When we were doing it in-house, the work was done by staff.

Compassionately intolerant
Even pick a dog from the audience and do a demonstration.
Inntterrresting. I could totally do a "kreskin' with an audience member.
I am going to do a raffle for email addresses...a free session.
How awful about Frankie getting bitten. Is he doing okay? Actually, I know the answer to that. How are YOU doing with it? Can you forgive and forget?

I guess the reason I asked about magazine, is that laying out the graphics and text in my second book is a lot like that. Another comparison is children's books. I hope to have the package ready to get quotes on in a matter of weeks now.

Per page, laying out a newsletter isn't particularly different from laying out a magazine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
bonny, I'm telling all my dog owner friends because apparently this is not the first time this dog has attacked another, and I don't want anyone else to get hurt. I'd really like the owner to pay for my vet bills, but am absolutely not counting on it. Otherwise, pretty much over it. Sucks that some people are irresponsible dog owners.

So newsletter prices will give ma a fair idea? Because book layout prices are cheaper, but if the amount of work is comparable to a newsletter rather than a typical book, then it seems like that is the range I should expect to be charged in. I mean labor is what a contractor sells.
Aren't most newsletters black & white? Does color make a difference?
