My body of work covers the elements of technical, instructional, formal, and informal writing. It also encompasses polishing work for publication, re-writing brochures to be used as product/service announcements, theatrical reviews, and preparing material for publishing on the Internet.
At one stage (while self employed) I worked as an advertising agent creating, for contracted clients, advertising campaigns - and the advertisements themselves, which were used in several technical journals.
I have worked to tight deadlines, within narrowly focussed editorial and managerial circumstances, under rigid budget constraints, and to high levels of quality. Sometimes all at once.
My sales and training/teaching experiences have assisted me to attain quite highly developed negotiation and presentation skills. I have negotiated deals with or presented concepts to individuals from all management and societal levels and all abilities.
My project and time management knowledge, along with my communication skills have proved very useful currently and in the past.
For more years than I wish to be reminded of, I have been very involved in non-professional theatre, as director, producer, actor, reviewer, delegate on association bodies and president of many committees. I was also the founder of a theatrical company which celebrated its 20th anniversary some years ago.
Clear thinking and the capacity to "not be afraid to be different", along with an ability to learn quickly, and to get to the "nub" of a concept, have enabled me to handle many situations that have confronted me in life with a reasonably high level of confidence and success.
