We've been paying people in a variety of jobs (tech authors, programmers of various types) ?25 per hour. I don't know quite how appropriate that is to your skills & region, but I'd be very surprised if that wasn't a reasonable amount to ask for. Anything under ?20 seems a bit low to me.
Bear in mind that there usually seems to be a mark-up in "per hour" rates vs gross salary, to compensate for lack of job security on short/medium term contract work - so a direct calculated rate is (probably) going to come out a little low.
Then again, I can't claim my experiences are typical, or that I know the field well, so...
