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.
Whether the client just wants documentation that meets their current
requirements, templates, formats, etc., or a comprehensive reboot
and redesign is the sort of thing that needs to be defined at the front
end of the contract. This is especially true if you charge different
rates for these alternative levels of work/rework.
