Dave -
I just spoke with someone in my group who has been (like your truly) an
"only writer." She said that she called herself "Documentation Manager"
not because she was managing people, but b/c she managed the entire
process. This title might be helpful when you are dealing w/ people
outside the company (in professional organizations or negotiating printing
fees, etc.). At any rate, it never hurts.
And if I ever have the chance to name myself, I think I'll take that title.
