TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The recent post on the theme of relocation costs seems to have forgotten, at
least for contractors/consultants, that the hourly rate should take relocation
costs into consideration (Unless, of course, you state; $xx.xx/hr, plus
expenses).
If your client can't afford your newly increased hourly rate then, I guess,
you'll have to seek clients closer to home.
I hope that you're not calling yourself a consultant when you only wish to be
a "temporary writer".
