\"Baltimore<\/figure>\n

If you had to make a list of some of the cities with the highest demand for talented, passionate writers on the east coast, Baltimore would undoubtedly be right at the top. This has been true for much of the city\u2019s history and as you will soon come to learn, it will be doubly true for the foreseeable future as well.<\/p>\n

Making a Living as a Baltimore Writer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to research conducted by Glassdoor<\/a>, the average base pay for a technical writer in Baltimore City is $62,484 \u2013 or about 2% above the national average. Content writers in and around the Baltimore area (including in Baltimore County) bring home about $48,627 per year<\/a>, or right at the national average for that profession.<\/p>\n

A large part of this has to do with the fact that content writing and copywriting in general are expected to enjoy a significant amount of growth over the next decade \u2013 growing at a rate of between 8 and 9% according to some estimates.<\/a> As more and more industries leap across the digital divide with open arms, the need for freelance, part-time or full-time talent is only going to explode.  Glassdoor alone lists hundreds of job openings<\/a> for technical, content and even science writers and editors in the Baltimore area \u2013 underlining a critical trend that is only going to get stronger as time goes on.<\/p>\n
