Technical writing requiring research will require a higher rate, but writing in areas that I have prior knowledge in will be about $10 for a post under 300 words. $15 for posts around 500 words. $25 for posts between 1000 and 1500 words. $35 for posts longer than that. If the writing requires heavy research, hourly rates will work better at $15/hr. I make sure that my information is sound by confirming details from multiple reputable sites.
