I used to be the lone writer for an engineering consulting firm that did corporate intranets and e-commerce web sites. We provided a system reference for each site we engineered. We charged a flat rate per book - they all took about the same time - unless the client wanted some custom documentation or additional books like an administration guide. Then I made a rough estimate and they were billed accordingly, at a rate of close to $200 per hour.

How many of you run a billable department? Does your documentation
department generate revenue? If so, what's your model/plan?

I'm looking into this topic, and I greatly appreciate all input. Thanks in
advance...
