Re: Hourly rates for contractors

[Becky Palmer-Scott <bpalmer-scott -at- INVESTLEARNING -dot- COM>]

     The STC (Society for Technical Communication) website recently
     published a salary survey for technical communicators. It lists
     annual, not hourly rates, but maybe it could help anyway.

     You can find the survey at the STC website, http://www/stc-va.org  .
     It's in a PDF file.

     Good luck!

Hi,

I am sure this topic has been discussed before, so I apologize in
advance for the repeat question.

For some time now, I have been trying to locate a source that lists the
going hourly rate (or range of rates) for contract technical writers in
the Silicon Valley area/SF Bay Area. If anyone knows of a good
resource/web site for this kind of info, I would love to know it. Also,
if there are any contractors in the Silicon Valley area/SF Bay Area who
would be willing to share their hourly rates (or range of rates), I'd
appreciate that too. I would just like to verify that what I am charging
is market.

Thanks,
Edie Quiroz
