Need help in quoting for an autobiography

What would be a realistic quote per thousand words for interviewing and writing an autobiography?

 

I am looking for neither a bottom-feeder quote nor a top-notch writer’s quote.

 

I am primarily a copyeditor though I occasionally do substantive and line editing.

 

I have written short pieces and compiled larger manuscripts in engineering.

 

This autobiography will be a first for me.

 

The job will entail the following:

 

1) Initial brainstorming
2) Helping the client in splitting his/her life into significant parts
3) Interviewing and transcribing
4) Filling in the holes
5) Editing
6) Possibly creating the eBook and POD book

 

I will also be doing the initial formatting with MS Word styles.

 

I am looking for any advice you can offer both in terms of both the bid and the process.

Hello Nichola,

 

I'm Mariam, a Content writer. I am new to upwork. How do I get clients because I have been submitting proposals and none replied.

 

Can you help me please?

 

I look forward to your response.

For projects of this scope, I recommend going with an hourly rate. Helping the client organize their thoughts and brainstorming is just as valuable as your writing skills.
