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.

costs of those publications).
ANNOUNCE: TECHWR-L Sponsorship Opportunities Available
Do you or others in your company benefit from TECHWR-L
list discussions, and the articles, services, and original
content published on the TECHWR-L Web site?
- Do you look to TECHWR-L for quick answers to challenging
problems, or just for a bit of relief from the stress of
the day?
- Is authoritive information from an attorney who specializes
in intellectual property and Internet law a worthwhile read?
(http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/lawyer.html)
- Are freely available, profession-specific job postings and
a free resume board a useful alternative to slogging through 2100
or more jobs on Monster.com?
(http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/employment/)
- Did you learn a bit, laugh a bit, or otherwise benefit
from the many regular columns and feature articles published
on the TECHWR-L site?
(http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/)
If you answered yes to any of these questions, or have otherwise
benefited from the resources that TECHWR-L provides to the
community, take a few minutes to contact your boss, marketing
director, or company owner and let them know that sponsoring
TECHWR-L can both provide good PR and help ensure the continued
development of this resource.
In developing TECHWR-L, we chose not to use paid
subscription or fee-based funding models but, instead, chose to
develop the TECHWR-L list, Web site, and variety of services as
free resources to the community as a whole. We would like to
continue making TECHWR-L and its variety of services available
at no cost to the technical writing community because we think
they meet a significant information need. In short, we think
providing these services for free is simply the right thing to do.
Your company's sponsorship will help us continue to maintain
and develop the TECHWR-L community, which includes acquiring new
original content and developing new features, services, and
materials that meet the changing needs of the technical writing
community.
Second, tell your boss, supervisor, or company president just how
important TECHWR-L is to you, and suggest that their support would
be invaluable in helping further develop these resources.
Finally, after your company has agreed, contact Eric
(ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com) to set up the sponsorship and to arrange for
your "Thank you" dinner.
