I have been freelancing for over 10 years and have found a book that is excellent for freelancers. I highly recommend everyone purchase it once a year. It is updated every year by the Graphic Arts Guild.
It has sample contracts, deals with with student issues and rates, just about anything you want to know about the business of design.
The name of the book is: "Graphic Artists Guild Pricing and Ethical Guidelines".
I have purchased the annual publishing of this book every year at art stores or book stores that have a good selection of books on Design. I think that Amazon.com has it. If not, the distributors are North Light Books, 1507 Dana Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45207 Their toll free number is: 1-800-289-0963.
The Graphic Arts Guild's address is: 11 W. 20th Street, 8th Floor New York, NY 10011-3704. The phone number is: 212.463.7730 and their website is: http://www.gag.org It is a great organization.
The Graphic Artist Guild Pricing and Ethical Guidelines book will cost around $30.00. Just to give you an idea of what it covers I will give you the contents:
The Professional Relationship
Legal Rights and Issues
Professional Issues
New Technology Issues
Pricing and Marketing Artwork
Salaries and Trade Customs
Illustration Prices and Trade Customs
Graphic Design Prices and Trade Customs
MULTIMEDIA Prices and Trade Customs
Cartooning Prices and Trade Customs
Animation Prices and Trade Customs

Good luck and believe in yourself, you can do it and do it well.
