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.
In addition to all the excellent reasons others have mentioned for accepting a
marketing assignment, you may also find you ENJOY the work! I do marketing and
promotional pieces from time to time, and I find they're a nice break from
policy/procedure manuals. This kind of writing stretches my range and offers a
welcome opportunity for fun and creativity.
