Transitioning to Writing Software Docs

[Stuart Burnfield]

Hi Mark -

It sounds like you have a lot of applicable experience, so I don't think 
you'll find software documentation especially difficult. It's just a 
case of finding that first contract. Once you have your first happy 
client, that's it--you're an experienced software documentor.

Given your background in education, you might try looking for work on a 
SAP installation. I've never done a SAP job myself but they're 
advertised quite often here and I've noticed that they nearly always 
combine both training and documentation. Your education and P&P 
experience might give you a head start.

Good luck.

Stuart
