Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mary has a broad range of skills, including writing, editing, and marketing. However, none of these skills are particularly rare or in high demand. She also lacks specific experience in high-paying fields like tech or finance. Location is Baltimore, MD, which is a relatively affordable city. According to national averages, editors and writers with similar skills can charge around $25-$50 per hour. Considering her education and skills, I’ll estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $50.
