To all startup and small company stake-holders who don’t have a technical writer in-house. Remember the old saying “penny wise, and pound foolish”, or “you get what you pay for”? Well, this also applies to the technical communication profession. It may seem like a good idea to assign a tech. comm. project to a non-professional in-house, or to hire cheap on the outside. However, in the long-run, it may cost you more in terms of redoes, lost time of delivery, and exposure to legal liabilities due to oversights, omissions, and/or inaccuracies.
