Default Technical Writing - getting started

Hello everyone,

I am a WAHM - but I haven't been making a consistent income, I think it is because I haven't really been doing something that I am passionate about. So, I've decided that I'd like to get into Technical Writing on a freelance/telecommute basis.

I have a mechanical engineering degree and I can write very well - so I have the aptitude for technical information and can write so I think I will do very well. Plus, it is what I enjoy.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice/information/places I can get started. Perhaps someone knows of an online certificate program I can take in technical communication that might help me get started or someone might know of a place that will hire technical writers who are just getting started.

Thank you for any advice or suggestions you can provide, I appreciate it.

Liz Martinez
