Ian,

I am a freelance designer that has been asked by my client to meet in person with a committee. It’s a 4 hour/230 miles round trip. Is it appropriate to include the cost of this trip in my bill?

Great Article! It was really helpful, especially to me. I “discovered” it on stumble so others can benefit too!

It WAS a great interview.

I’m curious though, as someone trying to get a start in freelancing. I notice some freelancers incorporate themselves as a small business, and others (like you) just brand their names. What would you recommend for someone starting out?
