30-40% is excessive.  But I always turn down job shops that want to make me an
employee.  I don't see any advantage in this to the consultant.  I would
consider a 20% fee "reasonable" if the job shop found a client and turned them
over to me completely.  That would be 20% for a limited amount of time: say six
months, after which they would be my client.  This is the part of my billable
hours that I allocate for marketing, which is the service they are providing.

My acid test is to insist that I be treated as a subcontractor: that is, I will
only work on a 1099 basis with them or the ultimate client.  I've never had a
job shop call me back after I told them this.

You really have only two choices.  Either you do your own selling or you
find a shop with a markup policy (and other policies) you can live with.

Just an aside, it's hard to tell if the above means that
"technical communicators" were previously exempt from the 20 
questions.  In any case, there isn't any reason they should
be exempt.  IMHO.

The first thing you need is customers.  Either start calling companies which
seem likely to need your talents, or call one or two body shops and have them
do your selling.

The accepted rule of thumb is that your hourly rate is your annual salary
divided by 1000.

Sounds easy.  However, it seems to me that only one person in 20 who talks
about consulting/contracting actually does it.

Good luck.
