TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am curious about something. What hourly rate (W-2 contract or 1099, without
benefits) can one expect to command if he or she is starting out as a tech
writer, but whose coursework and hardware/software/web design skills
demonstrate significant talent? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
