why we charge what we do
There's not a standard rate of pay for dramaturgy in England.
Because of that, we've calculated our fee with reference to the following sets of guidlines:
-
the SDUK / Equity agreement for directors' fees
-
the ITC / Equity agreement for directors' fees, and
-
Andrew Bibby's UK Freelance Ready Reckoner.
We've thought long and hard about how much to charge, balancing affordability for writers with the time it takes to offer a high standard of engagement with a script.
Reading, considering and noting a play, then planning and holding a meeting about it, is rarely less than a full day's work. Our standard fee reflects that.
Writing an additional summary document usually takes around 2hrs.
