Our rates are non-negotiable, and apply irrespective of a freelancer’s background, experience or reputation.

Art/Cartography Rates

Decent artists and cartographers are welcome to send us a link to their on-line portfolio. Note, though, the style of our products apes the old-school release of yesteryear. We don’t do colour and we don’t do computer-generated art. Please don’t bother sending us these kinds of art.

Spot Art: $25.00

Quarter-Page Illustration: $50.00

Full-Body Character Illustration: $60.00

Half-Page Illustration: $100.00

Full-Page Illustration: $200.00

All illustrations are black and white line art.

Design Word Rates

Ideally, designers will be able to work in Pages. Designers must be conversant in their system of choice.

Word Rate: 11 cents a word.

Development Rates

Raging Swan Press has two distinct types of development work.

Proofreading: $5 a page. We define light development as general editing and proof-reading.

Development: $10 a page. We define development as that featuring extensive mechanical work. For example, converting a stat block or complicated trap between editions or games is heavy development.
