Writing and Editing

We write technical proposals, grant applications, engineering reports, technical specifications, operating procedures, manuals and newsletters. Other writing work involves researching various items and describing them for sale on the internet.

Technical writing clients:

Canadian Shielding, Inc. (CSI), Winchester, Ontario, Canada.  Worked with CSI's representative to develop web page text and project references. Researched competitor's web pages, then developed similar pages using CSI's data about Canadian shielding products.

ETS-Lindgren (formerly EMC Test Systems, L.P.), Cedar Park, TX.  Worked with engineering staff and sales representatives to write technical proposals based on customer specifications.  (The international company designs and builds anechoic test chambers for hi-tech and military purposes.)  Proposals were collaborative efforts with ETS-Lindgren's technical and sales staff.  Successful proposals include:

  • 10-meter EMC semi-anechoic vehicle test chamber for Honda R&D Americas, Inc., Raymond, OH 
    •  
  • 10-meter and 3-meter EMC semi-anechoic chambers plus 7 support rooms for CISCO Systems, located in Boxborough, MA

Haynie Kallman & Gray, Inc., Austin, TX.  Wrote technical proposals and a grant application.  Discussed design projects with civil engineers and wrote many technical engineering reports.  Prepared municipal utility district bond application reports and spreadsheets.

Web page creation:
We created several web pages for various purposes. Most of the pages have multiple links and photos.  We maintain these pages as needed. The effort includes writing the text, taking digital photos, editing the photos in Corel PhotoPaint, designing web page format, and uploading the files.  Another step is to check for and repair any broken links on these web pages.
We also manage an ebay store under the name of Bluestemblues - we write listings, photograph items, research prices, answer email, and pack items for shipping.

Other projects:
