Garth Fisher is known for charging a lot for what he does. In fact, there are instances where his clients have had to pay him double the cost of his services just to get them. But is he really that expensive? We took a look at the prices of his popular items and compared them to other famous creative types to see how much of a difference there is in terms of pricing. Let’s take a look.

Scribes And Poets
When you think of expensive writers, the first creative type that comes to mind is a poet. However, it’s not just the craft of poetry that makes these writers so expensive, but the fact that they have to be paid per piece. A lot of poets work for hire, which means they’ll write a piece for you but won’t be compensated especially well for it. For that reason, you’d have to pay them a lot more money than what they’re actually worth just to get them to write for you. This is why even the most famous poets can command such high prices, as their talent is in high demand.
Next on our list is the scribe. A scribe is someone who records or types up verbatim what another person says, so they don’t have to worry about getting it wrong. This kind of writing requires a lot of skill and is very time-consuming, which is probably why the demand is low and the pay is decent. Still, if you want to hire a scribe, you’d have to shell out a substantial amount of money because there’s a limited supply and very high demand. Which leads us to the next type…
Inventors And Designers
Inventors, designers, and engineers are a relatively new breed of creatives, but they’re already very expensive to hire. In fact, it’s not uncommon for them to charge a premium just to give you an idea of what they can do. This is because a lot of them do design work for other businesses or governments, and so they have to charge what they’re worth. When it comes to designing something from scratch, it can take a lot of time, and you won’t have any idea of the cost until after you’ve paid them. That’s why you have to budget for this kind of expense. Still, you’d be surprised how many people are willing to pay a lot for the convenience of having a designer do something for them. Just make sure you’re getting value for your money, because sometimes these designers can cost you a small fortune without delivering great results.
Composers
Musicians can also be pricey to employ, especially if they’re good. But the cost is more than just money; it’s also about how much time they want to put in. A lot of popular musicians, such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, have full time employees who work on their music, so it’s not like they have lots of free time. For that reason, you’d have to compensate them well to make sure they’ll work for you. It’s not all about the money, though, because sometimes you can enjoy working with a talented musician without having to pay them hugely. Just make sure you’re getting value for your money, and don’t be afraid to walk away if they don’t deliver what you’re looking for. Even the most famous musicians can be temperamental and difficult to work with, so it’s best to be safe than sorry.
Authors
You’d be surprised how many people don’t realize that writers are expensive to employ as well. The good news is you have options when it comes to where you can find talented writers, and most of them will work for very affordable rates. But keep in mind that the more you pay them, the better they will get, which is why you can end up paying a lot for a decent writer. Still, it’s worth it, as long as you’re getting decent value. Sometimes you don’t have to break the bank to work with a talented author. You just have to know where to look.
Overall Thoughts
To wrap up, let’s take a look at the final cost of hiring these creative types. We started with the most expensive type, a poet, and worked our way down. As you might imagine, a scribe is the cheapest of the five, and it mostly comes down to budget. A poet, inventor, or designer will cost you a lot but can also end up being worth it. A musician is also quite pricey, but as we’ve established, the time commitment can be high, so it’s totally worth it. Finally, we have the author, whose costs are the least among the five because there’s a wide range of affordable authors out there. So, as you can see, it’s not necessarily about how much money you have to spend; it’s about how much you’re willing to spend. If you want to hire a writer with a proven track record, then it might be best to look into the publishing industry or get in touch with people who’ve worked with them before. Just remember that no matter who you choose, the cost is going to be high, and it could even take you a while to figure out how much it’s going to cost you in the end. So do your research, and know what you’re getting into before you make a commitment.
