TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Meg says, "Start off with a couple of years in journalism, then move to
history and
earn a BA. Top it off with a Master's in history, too."
My career path: start out as an underpaid college mathematics professor who
writes manuals for graphing calculators, reports for the state legislature,
a million newsletters for volunteer agencies, and builds web sites for fun.
Then, convince someone that because you know how to spell and differentiate
between "they're", "there", and "their", that you can write technical
manuals.
