Rates
Our goal is two-fold:
1.) We will never take advantage of the storyteller–we don’t believe in over charging
That being said,
2.) We will not sell ourselves short–we believe in what we do and charge a rate commiserate with living
With that in mind, we work hard to stay within the budget storytellers have set, and tale rates to projects.
