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 am giving a training session soon on writing briefs, forattracting
tenders (mainly communication work such as brochures, campaigns, design).
In developing the session I have become interested in hearing the views
from both 'sides', i.e. writers of briefs and tender writers. I'm
particularly interested in what could be called
* 'golden rules' (what one MUST do) and
* horror stories (what one should NOT do).
If anyone would like to share their golden rules and horror stories send
them to me direct and I can produce a synopsis for TECHWR-L next month.
