My multisubject background as a technical editor and a general nonfiction rewriter includes such diverse fields as automotive, education, science, business, economics, finance, medical research, aeronautics, engineering, biology, entomology, philosophy, history, geology, seismology, and biography. This has mainly been a result of my years of work (including 20 in Tokyo) with translation companies worldwide. A PowerPoint guest lecture on technical writing I presented to ESL professors and graduate students at Purdue University is available at http://nanohub.org/resources/7878. Besides a highly popular stylebook I wrote, published in three languages and ranked No.1 best seller on Amazon Japan (with over a million listings) for eight consecutive weeks , my knowledge of good style is supported by an extensive reference library. My work has included the polishing of hundreds of scientific and medical articles in books and professional journals, including think tanks, medicine, health care, science, and aeronautics.
