Okay, so Samuel Howard is a journalist with a broad skill set, including writing, editing, and storytelling. His experience in corporate communications and trade marketing suggests he could command a rate in the mid-to-upper range for a writer or editor. However, considering his skills are more focused on writing and storytelling, I'll take a conservative approach. Looking at the market, a writer or editor with similar skills in Boston might average $50-$100 per hour. Given Samuel's strong background, I'll estimate his rate to be around $75 per hour, which is on the higher end of the range but still reasonable considering his expertise.
