Hi Melissa,

I work as a Technical Writer and apart from writing and updating Manuals and
Help files, I also maintain the Company's Intranet, create Monthly Internal
Company Newsletters, create Help Cards, User's Guide etc.

HTH,
Indrani

Hi All,

I will representing Michigan Tech and technical writers in general at
the
National College Fair next week in Baltimore. I was hoping to put
together a
list of what tech writers do, so that when I am asked that question, I
can
give some interesting answers, and not just the generic "write manuals
and
stuff" reply.

I would really appreciate some help in replying to what we do. I can
give
them a list of what I do...but then again, that might scare them away.
:)
Also, if anyone has advice for me to pass on to young innocent souls who
may
wish to become tech writers...let me know!

Thanks so much,

Melissa
