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.
Hi all,
I, too, am and first and only tech writer at my "company". Even more rare (I think) is that I'm a tech writer for a school district, rather than an actual company. It's fun stuff!

Congratulations!
Currently I am the only tech writer at my company as well (this is a first), but I enjoy the job.
