Are there any freelance technical job opportunities for writers and
editors who specialize in topics other than computer hardware and
software? Are all freelancers and contract writers/editors now required to
have framemaker and robohelp as part of their software packages? Are there
any good resources or contract agencies who actively seek or hire persons
to do the "old" version of technical writing/editing such as talking about
scientific and laboratory, or medical and legal matters, descriptions of
aircraft engines, mechanical parts and machinery, and various kinds of
engineering systems that don't involve strictly computer languages?
[Eric's note: Discussing these (currently) less popular or glamorous
angles of technical communication on the list is positively acceptable.
Really. TECHWR-L isn't just for computer-related tech writing stuff.
Please reply to the list.]
