I'm kinda partial to "Chief in charge of Words and Pictures" but most
days I'll happily settle for "Tech Writer". I do have the occasional day
when I'm feeling extraordinarily self-important and officious when I
refer to my self as a "Senior Technical Writer"; it was, ahem, one of
those on the day I filled out the form for my business cards.
