I can sympathize with Hope. I am a telecommuting technical writer, but I get
most of my work by word of mouth. Most of the telecommuting links you find
will be to people wishing to help you telecommute, generally by selling you
something--precious few are looking to hire a telecommuting technical
writer. I doubt whether you will find many telecommuting opportunities on
the web until contract agencies realize they can make a fortune by
contracting out technical writers who telecommute.

Dave.
