<< Does anyone on this list know where a freelance technical writer who
does not specialize in software documentation can locate help in finding
work and networking with other technical writers? >>
I too would be interested to know about this. I've also spent many years
doing writing on technical subjects, only about two of them doing
manual/documentation. I tend to be treated as though I'm misrepresenting
myself as a "technical writer." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, does anyone know why trying to reply to or forward a message from this
list alway uses a default of a red background??? Easily remedied, but
annoying nonetheless.
