Last spring a successful innkeeper in the area toured our B&B and told me in no uncertain terms that I needed to raise our rates. Since we had consistently done so since start-up, that came as an eye-opener. That first year our guests were sure getting a good deal!! I think it is harder for writers to believe in themselves. I was never good at negotiating, not a skill that comes naturally to some people I suppose. Since I became an innkeeper, I have discovered the same tendency in myself.

I felt that it had to be done if I was ever going to ramp things up to the next level. Hopefully, I can be just as brave in the future. @Ed: That’s totally one of the reasons I actually went for it.

I'm so excited that you sent a negotiation letter and you've decided on a flat rate that reflects your work. A lot of women have trouble negotiating and putting a fair value on their work, so way to go! --ed Congrats on negotiating!!
