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.
"I've been a proponent of certification for a long time. Why? Because I've
watched terribly incompetent people become billed as great technical
writers, while the competent and experienced people get passed over and
forgotten. I've worked with people in STC who are passionate about our
profession, and their technical communication skills in actual practice are
horrific."
HI Deborah,
Who's to say that those horrific writers won't still get great billing with
the certification program and those incredibly competent and experienced
people won't still get passed over and forgotten?

without a destination, I figured, than to cross the wrong threshold each
day." (Sy Safransky)
