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.
The market will also open up more once these companies realize they can hire
a good technical writer for $40,000 and not have to add to their staff a
biologist or scientist at twice that salary just to do documentation. As
long as there are experts available to check the content, it is more cost
effective to have the writing expert write, and the scientific expert deal
with the science.

... However, the catch is that these ads also call
for a medical and life sciences background in addition to technical writing.
