About Me

In 1985 I switched careers from electronic engineering to technical authoring when I moved to Hampshire. This enabled me to combine my personal interests in writing, illustration and photography, with my professional training as an engineer.

Andrew Allen Moore was born in Kingston-upon-Hull, East Yorkshire, England. For many years he has lived and worked on the South coast of England, in Hampshire. He has an honours degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and is a member of the Institute of Scientific & Technical Communicators. He is also a tutor for the ISTC Open Learning Courses in technical communication techniques and technical authoring.

A Military Apprenticeship

I served my apprenticeship as a Junior Technical Author by writing manuals for satellite communications equipment to US and UK military specifications.

Moving Into Commerce

After learning to write to strict specifications, I moved into the commercial world and worked for various engineering companies, including Schlumberger, Racal, and NTL. During this time I learned how to make manuals more user-friendly and started developing company house-styles using the Apple Macintosh and later, reluctantly, transferred to the PC. 

Through on-the-job training, and the good luck to be part of several progressive authoring teams, I became proficient word processing, DTP, illustration and photo-editing applications, as my role as a Technical Author expanded. 

Eventually... Consultancy

Latterly, as a Technical Communications Consultant, my role has expanded further to include the design of marketing and sales literature, company intranets, online help and websites.

As a freelance, I am now able to offer my expertise to small businesses, organisations and individuals anywhere in the world.
