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 was talking with a young friend of mine last night. She is still in
college (going on her senior year) and is trying to find a job for
the summer. She desperately would like to enter the editing field,
ideally technical editing, but believes she will not qualify since
she has no technical background. Do any of you know good
basic sites on technical editing so that she can find out
more about the field? Is it Judith Tarutz who produced that
excellent book about technical editing?
Also, if anyone wants a technical editor intern in Austin, I will
be glad to pass your name on to her.
