writing | editing | information design



I am an Austin, Texas writer and editor with 15 years of experience developing a variety of technical and non-technical documents. I've written for audiences ranging from the highly technical to the mostly clueless and covered a broad spectrum of topics, including:

  • B2B enterprise solutions
  • Online newsfeed syndication
  • Online learning infrastructure
  • Bioinformatics
  • Electronic component configuration tools
  • Animation and game development tools
  • Environmental compliance documentation
I've written installation and configuration manuals, procedural guides, user guides, reference material and online help, as well as web content and product literature. In my spare time I run a shop in Second Life, and I sometimes edit and proofread English subtitles for Asian TV dramas.

I see it as my job not just to write accurate, easy-to-follow procedures, but also to work closely with developers to improve the software itself. As one of the first people to see a new product, I'm in an ideal position to spot potential issues early on.

I'm currently available for a permanent or contract position. Please email tanner@writingtable.net with any questions.
