However, most clients we are going to make money from - even charities these days!!! - are hard-enough-nosed to know how to negotiate the best deal for their available budget. So there can surely be no problem acquiring the tools and confidence for our own negotiations as freelance writers. I really enjoyed your posting. Sincerest thanks.

I think Andrew is right to remind us that the best negotiations end with everyone smiling, but I don't think the pointers you mentioned are mutually exclusive with that. Besides, half of putting together a win/win deal is making sure YOU win. That requires an understanding of negotiating tactics and some negotiating self-defense skills. Carson Nifty post.
