There is a market in the UK for good technical writers. It's not as sexy as development (whoever heard of a technical writer making the cut as a YC founder?) but it pays the bills. My own problem is that around 10 years ago, I veered off into business development and sales, and have been struggling to get back into the technical side of things ever since. I was OK at bizdev and sales, but I worked for fantasists unfortunately and it's left me with a bad taste.
Where do I get contracts from? The usual suspects - jobserve, networking, and various other places. I think it's probably worth pointing out that having had a well-completed LinkedIn profile for over 10 years, it's never brought me anything.
Edit: drop me a line - happy to help, heck, this might be the beginning of a technical writing dynasty! ropley at gmail dot com.
