Re: How do you charge for drafting a Response to RFP

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I would think this depends on the circumstances.  If you've been
hired by a company that wants you to prepare an RFP for it to
submit to its own potential clients, treat it the same as any other
writing contract.  If you're preparing your own proposal for a
contract you hope to land, in most cases you don't get to charge
for that effort, but fold your cost of doing it into your cost of 
doing business. If you don't get the contract, you eat it.  As a 
client,  I've never paid potential contractors for the time they 
spend preparing their propoals or quotes.
