RE: Advice for a New Tech Writer

["Bonnie Granat" <bgranat -at- granatedit -dot- com>]

Where to start out depends on what you are interested in.

You said you have a little experience writing documentation. What kind of
documentation? For hardware? Software? Remote-control devices? Medical
devices?

I recommend finding an internship at a company that interests you.
(Internships these days are after graduation.)

When I graduated, I had no clue about where I would go from there. I got
an internship, and the rest is history.
