Magazines

These fees represent lower and higher bands, based on currently paid rates for different categories of client. They do not represent hard-and-fast rules about how much will be paid - as always negotiation is the key.

Fees paid by magazines published in major markets abroad tend to be higher than those paid by UK magazines. Charge at least 25% more than for equivalent UK publications, can be 35% more - or higher.

For in-house magazines not seen by the public, charge as for categories B or C. However, if an in-house magazines is seen by the general public, charge as for PR work.
