I work full time as a writer and a friend and long time collaborator of mine has asked whether I can help co author their book. This job would entail two or three evenings a week on top of my job. I forsee that I would spend around 3-4 hours each evening on the task which would see me produce upwards of 2000 words. I also need to consider how much to charge for a speech/blog post written that came to over 3000 words. Considering that it's a friend and that I will be a listed author, I am imagining that I should and will offer a lower rate than if those two facts weren't the case. How much would be appropriate to charge in this instance, preferably as an evening / hourly rate? It would be good to consider both scenarios, one if it were not a friend and I were not a co author and the other as I have described.
