About me

When I was about seven years old, I went on a school trip to a farm centre.

We had to write about our trip afterwards. I have no idea why, but even then my report included a table of contents, headings and body text, and illustrations with captions.

Since then, over some twenty-five years as a technical author, I have extended my range of communications tips and tricks. The drive is still the same, though: making information easy to comprehend and easy to find your way around.

About technical writing

Technical here means essentially instructional: documents that help people carry out tasks, understand what they're doing and check the background information they need.
