Join IWOC-ers as IWOC board members and freelance writers George Becht and Diane Schneidman moderate a panel discussion on how to break into the field of writing white papers, case studies and other forms of technical writing.

Highlights of their presentation will include:

• The true definitions of a white paper, case studies and technical writing;
• The reasons potential client companies produce case studies, white papers and technical writing;
• The manner in which case studies, white papers and technical communication are used;
• The type of companies, nonprofits, government agencies, churches or other types of organizations that need white papers, case studies and technical communication;
• The methods in which freelance writers should employ to obtain assignments in writing white papers, case studies and technical communication; to write white papers, case studies and technical communication and how much they should charge, and;
• The resources most helpful towards achieving this goal.

Networking, with snacks and beverages, begins at 5:00 p.m., followed by the program at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting is free for IWOC members. Non-members pay $10 with online preregistration/payment or $15 at the door.
