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.

Forget that 200,000 figure. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
estimates that the number of technical writers in the US is
70,000. However, since they base their estimates on job titles,
this is probably low since we know how varied technical
communicators' job titles are.
