I need to ask a question regarding salaries for producing high quality newsletters.

 

For each issue I need to come up with, and do, 10,000 words every two months; 1500 or so of my own original material. I solicit and commission the rest of the material, including photos and illustrations, and plan the issues. Someone else lays out the copy in Quark—I don’t do that.

 

We recently had a previously unpublished article by Sara Stein; this month we have a previously unpublished article by Gerould Wilhelm, a noted botanist out of the Chicago region. By this I suggest that the material we publish is pretty good. I am responsible for verifying the facts.

 

I spend in excess of 100 hours on each issue and am available at the drop of a pen.

 

What salary might I ask for? Please answer me off list.
