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.
Well that would certainly make things easier if the company in question
already had their own contract.
Here's a related question: are there any contract clauses to beware of or
to try to insist on? Any horror stories of contracts that wound up biting
someone on the butt? For example, a company trying to claim writing you
did outside of their billed hours, because the contract said that all
writing done during the term of employment would be theirs.
Thanks again!
