[quote=Anonymous]By professional, I mean someone who went to J-school, was a reporter / writer, does fact checking and research on their own, maybe did some editing along the way. Whose work was vetted by peers or seniors. In other words, not a blogger or a twitterati. I'm trying to understand how a technical writing experience is developed, and, if you're an expert in one specialized topic (defense, transportation) .... is that really transferable to a completely different topic of technical writing (oncology) ? It would seem the expertise needed to be a "technical writer" wouldn't transfer, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. [/quote]
