[quote=Anonymous]I'm a professional writer and I write copy for marketing and communications materials, ads, etc. Different skill set than being a journalist. My work isn't really edited by others - that's my job. I work in a particular industry and have knowledge of that industry. What you are describing (depth in a subject area) isn't what people mean when they are talking about "technical writing" as a career field. Technical writers usually work for science or technology companies and write documentation like user manuals. It's more about the type of product they produce than their background or technical expertise (although that can be helpful).[/quote]
