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.
I graduated with an MA in Business and Technical Communication from Iowa
State University in 1991 and went on to do doctoral work as part of the
first class of their new program in Rhetoric and Professional
Communication (and only 1 of 5 in the country at the time). I left ISU
and moved to Utah in 1993, and I've been working as a technical
writer/editor/training consultant since then.
It was then an excellent program, with an outstanding faculty. I'm sure
with the six years they've had to develop and fine tune their PhD
program, it is even better now. I've listed their web site below. If you
want more information either about the coursework or faculty, let me
know.
