Question
Hi I am currently writing a script for a leaning about computers DVD, this is the second DVD I have written a script for, the question is once its complete I am going to need someone who is experienced in technical writing to check through and edit as necessary as I am not a professional writer and I believe that this sometimes shows in the script content.

Could you possibly tell me who the best person to contact for this type of enquiry?

And what possible costs will be involved?

Please help.

Fitz.  

Answer
I'll be happy to take a look at the content. Why don't you send me a sample directly to:

I'm reasonably knowledgeable about computers and have both written and edited manuals and training materials.

After I've had a look, I'll give you a price.
