Or did you design a newfangled chicken coop that’s more durable, easier to clean, and less expensive than others on the market? Nan can help you count your chickens and get them hatched by writing marketing copy with attention to SEO optimization and clever wordplay.
technical writer
You gotta love somebody who can take highly technical (even medical) information and make it understandable. Nan has taken medical research articles found on government websites and translated them into patient-friendly language.
She writes reports about companies’ research and development activities that can prevent an audit by the IRS. And with her background teaching college-level academic writing and research, Nan finds documentation a breeze.
Many of Nan Kuhlman’s students came to community college looking for a second chance. So did she.
Nan Kuhlman reworked her plans for her career – and her life – several times to support the needs of her family. Then a chance encounter gives her another chance to pursue her dream of teaching college students. Kuhlman begins teaching writing classes at her local community college where many of the students are “nontraditional”– returning service members, laid off factory workers, and a range of other people who never thought they might be “college material.”
In this collection of linked essays, Kuhlman introduces us to her students, the lessons she taught… and the lessons she learned along the way.
““VERDICT: An encouraging, uplifting work that will inspire both college students and teachers, as well as those considering returning to school.” ~ review by Library Journal”
