I tend to agree with dick.
In the past I have used:
Technical Author
I have always perferred Author to writer - sounds a little more formal.
Technical Communications Consultant
Although that may imply that I only did the 'consulting' and not the
actual writing / production and publishing.
Corporate Communications Manager
This was used when, at long last, I had a say (if not final, penultimate)
in ALL communications - Technical, Marketing, Sales, etc - I still see
Marketing literature promising functionality that the product doesn't
have!!!
Information Specialist
Errr I guess I was specialising in Information!
Currently...
NO TITLE!!
Just have my name and company details, this may only work when the company
name is fairly explicit such as; Technical Writing Ltd, etc.
