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 agree. Some years ago, when my original copy wore out, I bought a new
copy as part of a set which also includes the following two books:
"The Elements of Grammar" by Magaret Shertzer, ISBN 0-02-015440-2, and
"The Elements of Editing, A Modern Guide for Editors and Journalists" by
Arthur Plotnik, ISBN 0-02-047410-5, both published by Macmillan
Publishing Company.
A third book, "The Elements of Technical Writing" by Gary Blake and
Robert W. Bly, ISBN 0-02-013085-6, also published by Macmillan, includes
a discussion of grammar. It is a good handbook for all kinds of writing,
not just tech writing.
