No idea what you should get in the NE US, but if you have good info on what a full time position with similar responsibilities pays, then add 35-40% and divide by 2000(hrs worked per yr) to get an hourly rate.
Independent short-term contract work should get significantly more than full time positions.

Does anyone have a ballpark figure for freelance editor salaries, at an hourly rate?
Northeast USA region. Position requires editing experience and special background.
Any web sites with this info? I checked salary.com and only found full-time editor rates.
