I have just completed a translation for a community center. They are publsihing a book on their 25 years of direct action in Barcelona. The essay is very detailed and specific to the Catalan political environment. A Note from the Translator will be needed, a few pages giving some historic background. The client has asked me to write such a note or intro. I am familiar with the topic but not an expert. What price should I tell them per word, after all, I must charge more because I am not tranlsating but rather writing my own piece.

Can I double my translation per word price? Should I just give a total cost, not per word or page??

Many thanks in advance.
