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.
Too many questions for online. Independent contracting and freelancing either
suit your nature or they don't. That is, it depends on why you're looking at
independent consulting.
Try this book by Peter C. Brown--it's not about technical communication
contracting or freelancing, but it does cover a lot of the responsibilities
and joys of being an independent consultant. "Jumping the Job Track:
