Dear fellow tech writers,
I would like to know if any of you have successfully transitioned from a
tech writing career into something related but with a more artistic/creative
emphasis? Or if you know any other tech writers who have? I am considering
some kind of career move out of tech writing into something
software/internet related, like writing web or multimedia content, and would
be interested in any suggestions you might have or experiences you can
share. I am not interested in anything marketing or PR-related, thanks.
