I think you should have demos of your writing somewhere on the Internet that you can show recruiters. As far as I know, almost every big software company has vacancies for technical writers. You have to leave your resume with them, or at least apply online.



I saw this link on this site itself talking about how to write well (grammar, punctuation etc.) - maybe it would help:

Then maybe you should post some of your writing on the Net - maybe as a blog or something, if you don't have your own home page somewhere. Just include that link in your resume.

Well, I dunno that anyone can make you a good writer through training. You have to keep reading good writing and trying to emulate that.



Punctuation and grammar are easier to learn than creativity. For example, if you read enough professional writing, you will know that you should not put spaces before exclamation marks or question marks (as in your post). And it should not be "But I wish if I cn take some..." - it should be "But I feel that I cn take some..."



Sorry for trying to point out errors in your post, but since this was about professional writing...

[b] Writer: Who is (are) Your Reader(s)?! [/b}



If You are interested only in eMails ... You are free to do anything ... Grammar / Spelling ko Goli Maro ... Padhne Wala Samajh Lega Apni Mehnat Se!

* If You are interested in Technical / Freelance Writing helping an Editor, leave it to him ... he represents the Readers for You!

* If You are on Your Own, have Specific Groups / People in Mind and Write ... Regularly, Simply and Effectively ... Be sure you communicate clearly whatever you wish to say, in as few words as possible.

* If You are helping Peers who may know their Subjects better and have other Priorities like developing their Expertise ... Try to know their Thinking including their Vocabulary ... Put into Your Words what They Think and Know and help them tell Others / Users in a good way and even Better Way !!



So Wish You Happy Technical & Freelance Writing!
