SCI wrote version. As always, this is determined by supply and demand. When you are bragging about it here, supply will rise :) You could charge more because you have liability. Ask him to waive the right to sue you in case something is lost in translation or the guy is faking data ;)

Sorry about that. That is why I post it here first, just want to do a hearing and look the feedback. I will know how to deal with it then. Thank you for this information.
Why?? what's wrong with charging $4K? If it takes 40 hours to translate and put the paper nicely together in English, it's only $100/hour. If you count additional revision time, liability and tax, etc. It has nothing to do with 烂杂志 and not that outrageous. If there is a demand and customer is willing to pay for this, why not? LZ could easily make annual salary comparable to that hourly rate if you take tax and fringe benefit into account. What's wrong to charge fair compensation to LZ's t

$192,000/ nice try, your math is correct, but your logic and implicit conclusion is flawed. BTW, there is simpler formula commonly used: hourly rate * 2000 working hours per year. Obviously, you have never done any consulting or hourly rated service. For those business, you do project by project and rarely work 2000 hours a year, very much unlike regular full time job. Also, you don't have other benefits (insurance, matching retirement plan/pension, paid vacations, etc.). In addition, you h

Typical consulting rate is three times your regular income. It is not outrageous to charge 5x if the customer really needs our service. Agree with a previous comment not to undersell yourself unless you are desperate for money.

Dude, seriously your price is such a rip off. Consulting is different than translating...... If you have to put 40 hours into translating this manuscript, that means you don't really deserve the 100$/hour premier charge. Professional translating companies actually hire Biology or similar major Ph .D.s on this kind of project. Your price is almost comparable to professional medical writer, actually even higher than an entry level medical writer. Believe it or not, you are pushing too far. It is n

It all depends. Usually, medical writer don't charge on an hourly base, rather they charge by project, i.e. $XX to XXX per 1000 words or $XXXX per paper. There are cases where they charge hour by hour, but as I said, those are real experts with extraordinary experience.

The point is that these medical writers they solely work as writers. It does not matter whether they work in a corporate or as a freelancer. The reason I mentioned Amgen is that compared to freelancer, Amgen actually pays very well, unless you are those one out a billion kind of person. Sure, LZ can charge $4000 for this project. Since he is asking for the market value. $1000-$1500 is the real market value. And it does not depend on whether he is a full time writer or a freelancer. By the way, m

The point is that freelancer won't charge as much as professional companies with good reputation. And such companies won't even charge anywhere close to $4000 at all. Yes, if you ask "JK Rowling" to write something for you, she will charge you a premier price, probably more than $4000. Again ,we are talking about average, not extreme case.

Well said. Best response so far. Freelancer's bid prices could serve as a good reference, and they generally base their bids on $$$ per project but not on billable hours. The OP's service should not be considered consulting, not even close. Consulting for what? Operations? No. Strategic assessment? No. Or techinical solutions? Maybe not either. 90k for an entry level medical writer is a very good pay, generally fresh gets far less than that.

As I said previously, $1000 to $1500 is practical, and it all depends on your expertise. If it is your first time, $1000 is already quite decent. Of course, OP can charge extra in the future if the manuscript needs revision (not due to language issue)
