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.
Oh really. If people acted a little more professionally in this trade, we'd
all be better off. Putting your name on something simply means you stand by
what you have produced. Maybe if we collectively stood up for our craft and
some kind of standards, we'd be able to make some changes that engender the
same respect other professionals get. The workplace is changing. We can be
part of that change, or we can snipe at each other. I prefer to do the
former.

Amen. Agree completely. Learn it, know it, live it.

If you think
your employer has invested in your literary ambitions, you need to get
