Thomas possesses a versatile skill set that is adaptable across virtually any area of professional, business, academic, or creative writing. He has completed a wide variety of writing and editing contracts for many different types of clients from many different industries.
Thomas specializes in writing technical documentation for end-users. The key skill for success in technical writing is the ability to transform complex, detailed technical information into step-by-step directions that non-technical audiences can easily understand. This skill was the central focus of Thomas’ certification as a technical writer. Since earning his certification, he has applied this skill across a wide range of technical fields, including computing and information technology, medicine, and law.
Thomas also specializes in writing and editing research and publications for educational institutes, government agencies, and professional firms such as law firms and financial services firms. Thomas has a sharp eye for detail and appreciates the value of academic and professional research. He enjoys writing, editing, and proofreading articles for academic and trade journals, blog posts, and books. He understands the importance and significance of accurate fact-checking and of ensuring uniform adherence to even the most minute of grammar, formatting, and usage rules. He is familiar with a range of style conventions, including those found in the style guides of the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Psychological Association (APA), the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), the Associated Press (AP), and the Modern Language Association (MLA).
The competitive and innovative environment of the business world requires a different editorial focus than writing for technical, professional, and academic audiences. Consumer and popular audiences often prefer a less technical approach, so business clients prefer writers who are familiar with “user experience” (UX) models. The conventions and formulas of UX style guides are less rigid than standardized models. UX style guides may change over the course of a single assignment or contract. Thomas has experience adapting his extensive knowledge of grammar, usage, and formatting to accommodate this need for flexibility and creativity.
Of course, not all requests for writing occur at the level of the educational institute or corporation. Thomas also accepts requests from individuals to write, revise, and edit resumes, cover letters, and online professional profiles.
Thomas enjoys traveling whenever he can find time. He has been to 15 different countries in North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. He especially likes to combine travel with opportunities for professional development.
Thomas has enjoyed cooking from a very young age. While still in high school, he was employed as a prep cook and learned Italian cooking from a master chef who had emigrated to the United States from Sicily. Cooking and travel seem to go together. Whenever he is abroad, Thomas enjoys sampling regional cuisines and shopping at local markets.
Thomas loves to read and enjoys spending long summer days with novels, philosophy, history, and other works of literature. He is also a fan of great music. His favorites include rock and roll, blues, folk, jazz, and classical.
