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.
Mike...that's fine...and yes, you would produce a document with average
content, maybe even a document that someone would look at once in a while.
However, it wouldn't have any insight, anything NEW...it wouldn't have a
soul.
If I was hiring writers who wrote this way, why hire them when access to the
web is free, it doesn't only work between 8am and 8pm, and the average for
this type of book on BN might be $49...shoot...that's less than I'd pay for
one hour of your time.
