RE: Chopped Liver?

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

It varies by region.  In North Central California, from my experience and
understanding, $40 per hour for a contract is a good rate.  The San
Francisco Bay Area garners about $10-$15 more per hour, generally.  I've
seen rates get to the low $20s per hour on DICE, depending on what the
employer knew about technical writing.

... $40/hour isn't the top of the scale for tech writing.
