Introduction: Freelance Technical Writer
I have worked as a freelance technical writer for more than twenty-five years. During this time, I have developed help systems, training materials and classes, and technical and end-user documentation. I also edit technical documentation, and can assist in production updates from source file conversions.
Most of my projects have been for companies that produce end-user software products. I have written about software and networking products used with macOS, iOS, Windows, and other operating systems and for cloud-based applications.
Usually, I work as an independent contractor (1099) and am an experienced remote worker — having worked from my home office for most of my freelance career. I also work as a remote W-2 contractor.
Available for Remote Technical Writing Projects
- Develop task-oriented help systems or tutorials.
- Write end-user documentation (including user guides, reference manuals, and quick start guides).
- Convert existing documentation for use with another program (for example, convert FrameMaker source files into RoboHelp or Flare). Also, can assist in cleaning up Flare files from conversions to adhere to new CSS requirements.
- Create training materials (such as training guides, student guides, video tutorials, and presentations).
- Develop online training courses or classes based on new or existing material for corporate or university environments.
- Write or edit technical material.
- Develop and maintain small websites (including WordPress-based sites).
- Use desktop-publishing skills to lay out and create publications for organizations.
