Writing you can do: Become a technical writer

Got a technical bent? Even if you’re not a true geek, if you’re interested in technology, you can make an excellent living as a technical writer. I’m fascinated by computers, and have been writing for computer magazines for many years.

“Technical Writing for Fun and Profit” by Ron Miller gives you an outline of tech writing, which includes:

• Software documentation
• Tutorials
• Training materials
• Online help
• Websites
• Medical and science writing
• Manufacturing equipment maintenance manuals

If you can express yourself clearly, and can communicate ideas well, you may be a whiz as a tech writer.
