Excellent!

And the writer handles corporate work — compliance, HR, accounting, pension management and the like.

Yes, I’d be interested to know his industry.

The editing client I mentioned in my first comment also agreed to the raise. Woohoo!

I don’t know, but I can find out, Joy.

But yay to you for the increases! It’s high time, too. Your value just continues to increase!

As my accountability buddy, I told you recently when I successfully asked for an increase from $1.15/word to $1.40. That feels good!

Yesterday I asked an editing client for a $5/hour increase in my already generous rate and I’m waiting to hear back. I hadn’t asked for an increase in the 3 years I’ve been working occasionally for them, and I said I’m more efficient now that I know the style guide and there’s a lot of upward pressure on wages these days.

About the $400/hour writer, do you know what industry he works in?
