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.
>Where are schools that offer degrees in tech. writing?
The Society for Technical Communication might well be able
to supply a list (among other services that you should take
advantage of if you're considering this business). They're at:
Society for Technical Communication
901 N. Stuart, Suite 304
Arlington, VA 22203
703/522-4114
I don't know if anybody in AZ offers degrees in it, but
programs in your general area include New Mexico Tech
(Socorro) and New Mexico State University (Las Cruces).
Last time I checked, there were ~50 programs nationwide,
ranging from the certificate through the BA/BS to, in
some cases, the PhD.
Good luck,
