I've been approached about writing features (including background research and interviews) for an alumni magazine, and am wondering about an hourly rate. I'll do project estimates, but do feel like I need an hourly rate to base that on.

I've got a good five years' experience writing and reporting (including three writing for alumni magazines) and am a full-time writer at a non-profit. I also have a tendency to under-sell myself, especially when dealing with other non-profits...

Does $50/hour sound reasonable?

$1 a word
I think most alumni mags pay between $.50-$1 a word.
