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 kind of posted on this subject once already, indirectly, when I was
looking for BISAC codes to describe my book, but I thought I'd make an
official announcement, especially now that I have a decent Web site for my
book:
I have recently self-published a new book, called Spying On The College Of
Your Choice. It's for high school kids, and their parents, to help them
pick the best college for their needs. It's filled with hundreds of
questions for high schoolers to ask, and hundreds of issues for them to
explore, when they are visiting college and university campuses. The book
also has advice on how to use local resources to explore far away colleges,
and even has advice for current college students who are thinking of
transferring. Even if you don't have high school kids (or any kids at
all), maybe you have relatives or friends with high school kids, and you
could let them know about the book.
There is a Web site for the book,
<http://www.spyingonthecollegeofyourchoice.com/>www.SpyingOnTheCollegeOfYourChoice.com,
where you can read about the book, download a free excerpt, and find links
to order the book. Also, if by any chance you work for a high school, or
for any kind of education-related organization, or education advocacy
organization, it would really help me (and help your constituents, too!) if
you could add a link to the Web site, at some suitable place on your Web
site. (I am eager to place reciprocal links on my site, on a 'Related
Links' page, for sites that might interest my audience, so feel free to
contact me at Steven -at- STCYC -dot- com with any suggestions for links. I also
have a page for suggestions for questions high school students can ask
during campus visits, if you come up with questions not found in my
book.) And please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone you think
might be interested!
Oh, and one more thing -- if you write book reviews, and have a suitable
outlet for a review of this book, please let me know, I can try to get you
a review copy.
