atw: Re: hourly rate for writing and editing

Which might be useful Hedley, if the role was as a book editor and if any
gov't department in the country had a clue what book editors are or should
be paid.  Having worked for years in federal (in Canberra) and some fewer
years in state government, departments have a budget, they have work to be
done, and they pay as little as possible, without reference to rates that
might apply anywhere else.   They do, however, pay contractors a little more
than perm staff.
