Portfolio – Writing

I’ve written many things in my 20+ year career, from novels to blogs to magazine articles. Here are a few.

 

Blog Posts – robsteiner.net

Some of my favorite blog posts from my own web site. Opinionated but entertaining. Tools: WordPress.

Book Reviews – New Podler Review of Books

I wrote book reviews for David Drazul on the New Podler Review site for several years. Just like technical documentation, book reviews also have a structure that makes them credible and entertaining. See if you can spot it in these samples.

Fiction – Rob Steiner Author

I’ve written and published fourteen novels (and counting), so I know how to use “story” to write informative yet entertaining materials where appropriate.

Magazine Article – Telecommuting: Eight Tips for Success

Tips and tricks for the successful telecommuter in Intercom magazine, published by the Society for Technical Communication.

Magazine Article – The What, Why, How, and Where of DITA

An introduction to the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), an XML-based architecture designed to organize and present technical content. Published in Intercom by the Society for Technical Communication.

Web Articles – DemandMedia

Some technical articles I wrote that were bought by Demand Media. They had a strict style and format that writers had to follow.

Web Article – HTML5 Overview

What’s the best way to learn something new? Try teaching it to someone else. That’s the strategy I took while writing this article, which I eventually sold to a technical blog.
