Range of which I'm aware in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area of North
Texas (which is quickly becoming a technology boom area) for 1-3
years experience is roughly $25 to $35 per hour.
There's also a magazine called Contract Professional which has ads for
hundreds of agencies looking for tech writers. I poll agencies for
ranges when I'm looking.
