LT Cynthia Harvey
summary
Clear guidance and numbers not fluff Freelancing requires prior full time technical writing experience not as a shortcut no freelancing without full-time experience Clients come from past contacts via LinkedIn more than job boards Upwork rarely pays target rates Rate calculation starts with desired annual salary plus overhead then assumes about five billable hours a day so set an hourly floor but prefer per project or per word pricing and avoid hourly when possible to capture speed and value
