Freelance writers who have 10, 15, 20 or more years of experience would never think of charging such low rates (regardless of what part of the country they live), and they shouldn't have to charge low rates. It diminishes their experience and the value they bring to the table. As for magazines, the writer almost never determines the price; that's the job of the assigning editor. And the fee for magazine articles will also depend on the circulation of said publication. And just because someone is a "blogger" or has published an "e-book" doesn't necessarily mean they write well.
