- How many of you who actually started out wanting to be a tech writer
began as a tech writing intern?


I got a tech writing degree. While I was in school I did two official internships, one in writing and one in design. I also wrote two manuals for developer friends who wrote shareware and I rewrote a large portion of the MS Word user manual on my own because I didn't like how it was organized.

I had a lot of energy in school.
