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.
The job market for defense-sector tech writers is not very closely
related to how much actual military action going on. It's tied more to
R&D spending.
Some defense industries cross over into civilian markets. For example,
in the next ten years there will probably be a lot more jobs for tech
writers documenting drone applications and infrastructure for the
civilian market, since that's poised for exponential growth as
regulations open up opportunities.
