by Sue Horner | Apr 4, 2025 | The Red Jacket Diaries blog, Writing samples

Gifts for writers and readers, 2023 edition

by Sue Horner | Nov 13, 2023 | The Red Jacket Diaries blog

Why ‘How much does it cost?’ can be difficult to answer

Why ‘How much does it cost?’ can be difficult to answer

by Sue Horner | Apr 16, 2021 | The Red Jacket Diaries blog

The caller got right to the point. “How much does it cost for a 250-word newsletter article?” The thing about services is that there’s rarely a simple answer to “How much?” You can always answer with a range, but that’s only helpful if you provide context and details....
