What's a fair rate to charge for booking events for Yoga/Meditation training?

My friend has begun booking events for several nationally known meditation teachers and Kirtan performers. She does this mostly because she knows them and has great contacts nationwide, but she isn't certain whether she's pricing herself appropriately. Based on a typical literary agent fee of 12%, she's in the ballpark, but is that really relevant for this work?

Absolutely within the ballpark. She should ask for between 8% and 12% based on the hourly investment on her part and the success of subsequent events.

Thanks for the sanity check, Baby_Balrog.
