Technical Writing
True, I majored in Electrical Engineering, got the degree and license symbolized by the lettered train routes above, and held career positions mostly with "Engineer" in the title. But throughout, my intense strengths in language, grammar, spelling, and composition kept permeating my engineering work, enabling me to write scientific reports, theory papers, manuals, and proposals that, I thought, greatly aided my organizations. Then, starting with my Los Angeles transportation work, I branched into editing, starting with system criteria and specifications, and later revising academic research reports. Not content to limit myself to the technical world, I worked weekends in the radio industry, writing and delivering news dispatches and advertising copy. Determined to maintain similar versatility in retirement, I have completed assignments editing doctoral dissertations to conform to required styles, rubrics, and composition norms; editing political science and self-help books; writing web content for a furniture manufacturer; and tutoring writers. I would like to help you with your writing and editing projects, too, and will welcome your inquiry. Please see my Contact Me page for details.
