JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

It is good to have a contract ASAP! Like I said in the OP, it doesn't need to be anything super complex, and you can talk to her about what your/her expectations are before you present her with a document. That way you will both be on the same page.

Designers, any more specific advice?

I don't move a pixel without a contract and a deposit.
and a contract is:

the name of the 2 parties
the scope of work to be covered
the price
the expected delivery time or workback schedule.
signatures and dates.

it can be that simple.

Hey guys, I've just been contracted by an ad agency to write copy. I gave them a quote of $50 an hour. Is that too much?

Edit:

I also got this rejection letter from a magazine. Does it mean my pitch was bad, or just not what they were looking for at this time?

Depends on the size of the agency, the location and/or the accounts they have. But tl;dr on a lot of variables is that it sounds reasonable yeah.

(Edit: It's what I charge as a designer for agencies and I'm a bit on the low side)
