Depends on your experience, depends on the length/complexity/demands of the
contract, depends on where you are, depends on what you're offering, depends
how much you think you deserve.
Depends! Depends! Depends! Depends! Depends!
Check out the salary surveys at the STC and get in touch with some local
tech writers who do contracts. You'll have a better idea then.

Be seeing you,
