Below is a link to a recent discussion on senior technical writers. Maybe this will be helpful.

  Greetings,

I've been asked to come up with a set of criteria for senior tech
writers and regular (junior) tech writers at my workplace. (Currently
we are all just tech writers - there are no "seniors" among us, even
though most of us have been doing this for years and years.)

In your opinion, what are the important differences between a senior and
regular tech writer? If you have any ideas, please pass them along. 

Thanks,

Paul
