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 have been following a debate on the yahoogroups computerbookauthors list about whether authors should disclose prior contract information regarding advances and royalties.
I understand that if authors were more knowledgable, then publishers would end up paying more in the way of advances and royalties than they currently do. I would think that a group that allows authors to become knowledgable is a good thing even if publishers have to pay a little bit more.
I would also think a more level playing field would be better for the industry.
