Okay, let’s tackle this. So Julie has a broad set of skills, including editing, research, and social media management. She’s also a writer and has experience with news writing and feature articles. Location is Columbia, MD, which is a suburban area near Baltimore. While rates can vary widely depending on the industry and location, writers and editors with her skillset can expect to earn around $50–$100 per hour. However, considering her experience and skills, I’d estimate her rate to be around $75 per hour, which is on the higher end of the range for a writer/editor in this location.
