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.
