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.
As a technical writing consultant, I have (to date) worked strictly on
an hourly fee basis. However, I am trying to get more work offsite using
the electronic airways, which except for existing clients, may require
fixed-cost projects.
Any info you receive would be appreciated. Also, have you been successful
in obtaining off-site work?
