Technical Writing
While my current passion is writing about knitting, I still do quite a bit of technical writing. I specialize in writing hardware and software manuals with easy-to-follow instructions for both novice and expert computer users. I also write training materials with slides, workbooks, and instructor kits. To find out more about my technical writing services, send me a message.
