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.
In the SF Bay Area, some highly technical tech writers, such as those
who specialize in API docs, make six figures. California law also
requires that most tech writers are entitled to overtime when they
work more than 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.
