RE: On the fence

"There's no such thing as a free lunch": If being published in TC is of some
value to you, then you're not really writing for free. Your reward is being
published (and, I hope, duly recognised and credited) in that particular
journal.

I can imagine that if I were to be asked to write for TC, I'd do it and then
plaster the fact all over my resume.

I have recently been asked to pen an article for "Technical
Communication", the Journal of the society for Technical Communication.
This, I have been informed, will be a volunteer effort on my part
without remuneration. On one hand, it is an opportunity to get published
in TC...on the other, I feel strongly about writing for free. This
particular piece would constitute a fair amount of time and effort to
complete. Suggestions?
