It does depend on what you currently make. I would look for a percentage
increase as opposed to trying to figure out a dollar amount.
Try going to www.computerjobs.com and use the salary tracker to give you
some ideas on ranges, and highball your offers from there.

Subject: Advice on negotiating with employer
My manager asked me yesterday if I would
like to have my role changed to
Writer/Editor and to do 30% writing and
70% editing. I said yes.
My question to you is about what might
be generally considered a reasonable
amount for an increase in job
responsibilities.
