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.

SERIOUSLY: Have You Thanked TECHWR-L Sponsors Lately?
If you haven't taken time lately to drop a
quick email message to TECHWR-L sponsors, you
should. Without the support of TECHWR-L sponsors
and advertisers, TECHWR-L would not be able to
provide this wide range of original content and
valuable services to the technical communication
community.
Take five minutes--or less, if you hurry--
to visit a TECHWR-L sponsor and drop them
a quick email thanking them for helping make
TECHWR-L available to you. Please include a cc:
to ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com when you do.
If you know of other companies or organizations
who might be interested in supporting the technical
communication community through TECHWR-L sponsorship,
point them to http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/sponsorships.html
About posting ads:
Announcements on the TECHWR-L Premium Announcement posting
cost $50 to contact over 4900 TECHWR-L subscribers
directly each day for a week.
In an effort to provide a free service that allows you to post
announcements, jobs, and events, however, we have established other
services:
The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list
that summarizes new content posted to Employment Central and
the Calendar, is now available and can further help get your
message out to interested people: http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/daily-announce-info.html
These resources are available at no cost to anyone, posters
or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
regularly use these free services.
For jobs, announcements, and events that you specifically
want to be mailed directly to all 4900+ TECHWR-L subscribers
in the TECHWR-L Premium Daily Announcement, please contact Eric
(ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com) or submit your paid ad at http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/postad.html.
