Profile

Job Title:: Senior technical author

Company Name:: Maynard Smith Associates

About Me:: Technical author and marketing writer in IT and finance, based in London (UK), operating as a limited company. I'm interested in the usual hot topics: ways to write better, typography, new technology, content management and single sourcing, and contract leads.

In my free time, I'm a music journalist (mainly jazz and classical music). I'm also interested in fiction, both as a reader and writer. I'm currently writing my second novel, in which a young art historian and artist enter into a folie à deux re-enacting scenes inspired by famous works of art, with tragic results.

Now, more than ever, organizations need to effectively communicate global product information if they are to operate successfully on the world stage.

It doesn’t have to be like this. Read our new whitepaper, Best Practices of Global Product Information to find out how you can streamline and enhance the processes you use of communicate global product information.
