Basicly looking at a set of pictures, writting up a one sentance description, then a paragraph or two description.
Then also price expectations for writting a full page story to go with a photo set.
Yes two seperate things here.
What should I expect?

I'm an adult web writer and I work with a bunch of writers on Sex-writer.com. I'm here to say you can always find some desperate guy who will do it for cheap, like 10 bucks for the whole lot. But like they say - you gotta spend money to make money, you get what you pay for etc.
Writing a story based on pictures isn't as easy as it sounds. I have writers who would do it for $20 per story (and that is cheap). 50 to 100 for a story is actually not at all out of line.
A writer will probably give you a break on a large quantity - but you have to be reasonable. There was a guy on Craigslist the other day offering 500 for 1000 (300 word) articles. That's 300,000 words (the size of 3 average novels) all for 500 bucks? It may sound good up front but when you break it down it's nuts.
I'd get one writer to do the whole thing (if they have to write the story, they can just abstract the one liners, etc.) Expect to pay between $25 and $50 per set of photos.
And if you're interested in a sex-writer - writer, send an email to
