Writer friend and I were discussing how hard it is to ask for the right amount of money for a job. Especially if the amount of money initially offered is ridiculously low or degrading (recent request for material custom-written for some business's blog offered $10/hr. I could do better at Ponderosa.). How far should we go in naming our price? She said an older friend had advised her:
"Ask until your toes curl."
Good advice!

About Me
- Catherine Rankovic
- Intrigued after decoding Aurelia Plath's Gregg shorthand notes on Sylvia Plath's papers, I began researching Aurelia's life -- and am the first person to go into depth. Me: M.A., M.F.A. Forty years' professional writing and publishing experience and 31 years' university teaching experience. I am well-published, most recently in The Bloomsbury Handbook to Sylvia Plath (2022).
