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 am a technical writer, marcomm writer, web content developer, etc. with
over 15 years of professional experience. I find myself for the 2nd time
this year "between contracts". The last time I was out of work for 2 months
and went a bit stir crazy.
Anyway, I have been considering the freelancing market and wondered what
advice the assembled expertise on this list could provide. While $ is nice
at this point its more of an issue of keeping myself busy while I look for a
contract or job.
Any recommendations on breaking into this area? Are any of the online
freelance services worth bothering with? Any assistance would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
