Technical writing portfolio

Every specialty has its quirks and special needs, and no one can claim to be the universal right choice as a technical editor/writer. We have worked successfully in the fields of law, medicine, physics, and outdoor recreation. Here are a few samples...

Legal  
You wouldn’t want your legal history on the internet, would you? So rather than show actual samples, we’ll give you a couple of quotes from appreciative lawyers. “Editing expert witness reports is an incredibly tricky business. You somehow managed to give us everything we could have asked for, without ever crossing the line into tainting the report as evidence.”

“Why didn't you tell me you were a lawyer?”
Medical
PES Surgery text Although aimed at the layman, this book contains five highly-technical chapters by surgeons. Our job was to keep the surgical details accurate, while at the same time making them easy to understand. A measure of our success is that the book is endorsed by the American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons, and sold out of surgeons’ clinics world-wide; yet it still gets reviews like the one below from lay readers. (It is one of the rare books to receive a 5-star average review on amazon.com)...

“This book should be in the hands of any man seriously considering this procedure. It is well written, thorough, and easy to understand in spite of the complicated nature of the material... Like the author says in the book... Educate Yourself!! This is a great first, second, and third step to achieving just that.”
Outdoor Recreation
Ice climbing guide How technical can you get? We may not be your choice to edit a book of economic statistics, but we do know our outdoor onions. Here’s an excerpt from the authors’ preface.

“One other person made an extraordinary contribution to the final quality of this publication. David Harris [of Ghostwords] returned the manuscript with enough ink on it to supply a school for a month. It is thanks to him that there are as few grammatical errors as there are. It is thanks to him that it is readable.”
