<p>I’m a retired technical writer/editor. Your D should check out the Society for Technical Communication (STC) at [url=<a href=“http://www.stc.org/]STC.org[/url”>http://www.stc.org/]STC.org[/url</a>]. The key values of STC membership are access to best-in-class technical communication education and training programs, career development and professional networking opportunities, and special interest groups. Student membership is $75 as opposed to the $215 regular membership dues, and a number of colleges have student chapters.</p>
