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.
As the President of the Alamo Chapter of STC (in San Antonio), I feel that
I have to defend my city. The TW market in San Antonio is not as bleak as
Julie paints it. I know of several companies having trouble filling tech
writer positions, and I would say that there is a shortage of *good* tech
writers in San Antonio right now -- this was not the case two years ago.
