> Subject: formal training for new writer
> Hello all:
>
> I've just been "given" a new writer who was formerly a member of the
> software support team. She has a lot of software and business experience but
> little in the way of formal writing training or experience.
>
> Does anyone know of an intensive (meaning one to two-week) course that goes
> through the "nuts and bolts" for an experienced professional who is new to
> the world of technical writing? Location isn't an issue.
>
> Thanks for any help you can provide.
