Re: Denver Contracting

Sue,
The Rocky Mountain Internet User's Group has a Yahoo group for job 
listings. You can also post your resume there.

There is only one company in town right now that I know of that manages 
technical writers as its primary business (I know about them third-hand 
and don't have their info, but you should be able to dig them up 
somehow). Most agencies around here contract tech writers because it 
comes up as part of their primary contracting business. A lot of them 
are also industry specific, such as finance, biomed, IT, etc.

There are some folks who have their own solo companies--I've met most of 
them at STC functions. I don't know if they handle subs or not.

Any regular listings I see are usually for full time gigs. Seems like 
you might have to do some marketing to scare up part-time stuff, if 
that's what you're looking for. Then again, I've never looked for that 
sort of thing, either.

Let's see, must-ask questions include their AP cycle (30, 60, 90, etc.). 
Oh, once I land the contract, I always ask if they happen to have an 
ergonomic keyboard hanging around--but if they don't, I bring my own! :-)

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Lisa
