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 would get these absurd (to me) rates from some Guru or elance
prospects. I learned to just smile and pass--they didn't seem interested
in being educated about what a writer or editor really does and why a
certain rate is appropriate.
What I've been noticing for the past month or so is a drop in freelance
rates in my area, Vermont. (I'm the local STC employment person, and I
call local companies and see if they're hiring now or see a need in the
future.)
