As somebody who wants to be a Software Techncal Writer I would like to
respond promptly to a request to know what I would charge to do a
Freelance job.
I could do the job, I need it for my resume and portfolio, but I am
inexperienced. Can anyone suggest a suitable rate? I am in the Boston
area. The job would be very short with a specific completion date
etc.
