I have been freelancing for about 5 years and feel confident naming a price for a newspaper or magazine article, however I have been offered a job to produce a 10,000 word brochure for a web site and I have no idea how much charge for this, does anyone have experience with this kind of work?

Wow. 10,000 words????

I can tell you that the going rate for corporate work is $2/word and up. $2/word is standard for articles in corporate magazines, but I generally charge more for out-and-out promotional copy. I just charged $3,000 for a $1,000 "client education" kit.
