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.
The prospective author and co-author would do well to look at Marcia
Yudkin's books/website about writing book proposals. I found her
nuts-&-bolts approach very helpful.
Last fall, I reviewed a book, _The Well-Fed Writer_, which was more
wide-ranging, but took a more marketing-oriented approach. That is, instead
of looking at ways to write and sell highly-technical books, he addressed a
whole range of publishing genres, in particular, sales and marketing pieces.
Sorry, but I can't pull up the author's name immediately. He also addressed
repurposing information (that is, repackaging/rewriting) for resale. Some
good advice.
Anyway, good luck!
