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.
Andrew Warren quite rightly sent an offlist mention that the $150/hr.
numbers in my example didn't add up to $25,000. I dug around in my
files and discovered that the consultants are not provided on a
full-time basis for the three months. Heartfelt apologies to anybody
whose heart lurched in anticipation of getting a $400,000 job done for
$25,000.
That's why I went into technical writing instead of following Daddy's
shoeprints into accounting. Still, I should know better by now than to
push out numbers without pausing to check their accuracy. I'm sorry.
