Guys from Writing Assistance, Inc are offering a free estimate of hourly market rates for technical writers, instructional designers, copywriters, and designers at the U.S. job market (see the Free Publications column at WAI main page).
As I checked out the figures, I began to wonder whether the average rates are really that high (e.g. $50 to $80 per hour for a software techwriter of about my qualification). If so, what were the actual rates before the recent slump in 2008?
Hi there! My name is Elena, and I am a technical writer living and working in Moscow, Russia. I'm passionate about technical communication, so I actively find ways to learn new stuff and establish new contacts in this sphere.
For several years I focused on writing documentation for financial software. In particular, I worked for Reuters Financial Software and Deutsche Bank. My current challenge is to set up a smooth documentation process at the IT department at Kaspersky Lab. My chief concern is to build a strong team of writers and efficiently integrate us with the rest of the company.

Here are some books related to technical writing that I read and appreciated -- and those I just can't wait to get hold of soon.
