About Me

Hi!

Thanks for coming by to read the latest ramble! My name is Renee. I’m 34, I live in Vancouver, BC and I work for myself as a technical writer.

I just finished upgrading my writing skills at the Vancouver Community College by taking their Business and Technical Writing Certificate Program.  I highly recommend this program to anyone.  The instructors are very experienced writers themselves and incredibly friendly.

I’m also a member of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) Canada West Coast chapter.  If you’re looking to meet other people in this field, this is the most direct way to do it.  There are seminars (some of them are even free!), a job board and best of all, a chance to make some contacts.

If you want practice at writing and editing, join up with the Plain Language Association International.  Their forum on Yahoo is a great place to make contacts and do some writing to keep your mind sharp!

As you might have noticed, this blog isn’t just technical writing, I talk about whatever catches my interest, but writing – any writing – is a great way to keep what skills I have in some semblance of form.
