I'm trying to get something done around 100 words and quotes I've gotten are north of $150 which seems ridiculous.

No, the schools don't teach cursive anymore even, so I'm going to keep agreeing that we should dumb down our future generations by giving them terrible education that is worthless in the real world except to make them subservient slaves

I can do it for $1 per word up to 7 letters... $0.20 per additional letter.

I asked my associate who is starting her own calligraphy business. This was her response:
"$1.50 a word is extremely reasonable. Especially for something so lengthy. And depending on the script and the prep work required, it might not be worth it to even quote that low. Because at 100 words, if you mess up on word #83, your time is now worth half the money. I probably wouldn't do it for less."

The calligrapher for our wedding invitations charged $2.50 per invitation. She did formal name and address on outer envelope, informal names on inner envelope

I know someone out of Houston. Her calligraphy is legit. Is that local enough?

Yeah but that's on her. Not on me. If I frick up it costs me money also but I don't charge extra because of that possibility.

Not sure what to tell you. The average calligrapher does mostly envelope business, which takes only a few minutes to redo when something goes wrong on one. I see why a long document that would take multiple tries to get right is more expensive.

If you say so. I'm not sure why they need multiple tries. I think $150 for 12 lines of text (was was counting "a" "an" "and" "the" as words also) is a lot.
