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.
Joan Chatman wrote a short guide on style guides, as well as writing a style
guide that got a best of show award at an STC conference (maybe she sells
it?). Her phone number in March 1994 was (415) 960-0416. Good luck.
