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.
Having just hung out my shingle as a freelance writer and editor here in
Oklahoma, I'm looking to put together some NON-technical before and after
samples for my portfolio and website. I've got plenty of the technical stuff
from the last 12 years of tech writing in New Jersey. What I'm hoping is
that you can provide me with the bad "before" pieces to get me started.
Particularly useful would be:
- business and promotional letters
- marketing brochures
- advertising/direct mail/sales pieces
- newsletter content
- articles and editorials
- website content
Outright errors abound, but I'm hoping for pieces that miss the boat in some
large way: poorly organized, unfocused, lackluster, unappealing documents.
My own junk mail is a rich source, but I'd really like to see what other
folks have come across as well. Suggestions? Comments?
If you've got something, let me know and we'll work out a way for me to get
it.
Thanks in advance for your help. This should be fun!
