     Fellow Tech Writers,

     Having polished my skills in the wage graveyard of Tucson, AZ, I am
     ready to take on the big time: I'm moving to the East Coast. Only
     problem--I have no idea what I'm worth there.

     I wonder if any East Coast writers out there could give me some clue
     as to the salary range I can expect (my stats are below). This way,
     when Joe Fastalk of BigCorp Inc. offers me $1,200.04 a year, I won't
     go "sheeeeeyuks! I'll take it!"

     Here's the calibration info: I have seven years of tech writing
     experience. Books, online, HTML, using FrameMaker, Word, RoboHelp,
     etc. I have a B.A. I'm specifically looking at two areas: Boston and
     D.C.

     Thanks in advance,

        --Matt Waller
