What to charge?!

[Tim Mallory]

    I've done similar workshops a number of times both for non-profits 
and for libraries.  I have charged $400.00 plus expenses for a full day, 
$200 for half-day, and always making exceptions for circumstances such as 
"no budget and we really need it" as seemed appropriate.  It comes down 
to basically $50/hr. Remember your expenses - I usually absorb the cost 
of handouts, unless they are substantial.  I count off my "prep" time as 
a learning experience - so I end up making far less than what it seems.
