How about the lone technical writers out there? Who proof-reads your work?
As the sole technical writer for my company, I have to rely on product
managers and support
to review my work. I don't have a reliable proof-reader, so I check it
myself.
I don't think this is ideal, so do you have any thoughts on possible
solutions?
