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.
I have recently completed a product training manual for a client. The
deliverable as stated in the contract was one copy of the manual that the
client could copy and distribute to their sales force. Today, a person from
the Canadian offices of this company requested that I send a copy of the
file to their training coordinator so they can revise it for Canadian usage.
I begrudgingly sent the file but I would like to know what everybody else
thinks about this situation. This is first time something like this has
surfaced since I've been a freelancer. The client is one of my main sources
of income, so I don't want to offend, but I would like for them to come back
to me for revisions and other project spinoffs. Am I nuts in thinking this way?
TIA for your replies
