Re: Consulting fees

[GraceAnne Andreassi DeCandido <ladyhawk@WELL.COM>]

Carol, this is always a tough call. Let me tell you what I recommend
to people. Take your hourly wage, and double it. That's your
consultant fee per hour. Separate your travel and other expenses.
Submit an invoice. Never apologize. Your time and expertise are
valuable.
