Minda Zetlin, president of the American Society of Journalists & Authors, writes that freelancers should think twice before criticizing their peers who work for below-market rates: "When I hear a writer proudly declare that he or she never accepts less than X — and neither should anyone else — all I can think is how cruel that is, and how wrong. How dare we criticize a colleague who may be trying to feed a child, or make a mortgage payment, or pay for health care?"
