From the website: “Technical Writers (aka Technical Authors, Content Wranglers and Documentation Managers) have an unfair image. This project aims to challenge this image, by showing technical writers in a different light. The photos below are of technical communications professionals, doing a variety of activities.”

Over 40 pictures have been uploaded so far. (Great shots, too!) As a general rules, technical communicators are considered introverts, but as these pictures show, we have lots of interests. And we really like to travel!

Visit the I’m a Tech Writer project and submit your picture today!
