Welcome to the home page of Ben Jeapes, technical writer and author.
Technical writer
and editor
Technical documentation
White papers
Case studies
Brochures
News stories
I take technical documents and make them simple. Very often the technical specialists who have the knowledge don't have the time to write up the documentation, or to think down to the level of the non-technical audience who most needs to understand. I can take an existing document and rewrite it, or simply polish it up a bit, or write it from scratch following a briefing from the specialist.
Fiction writing
and ghostwriting
Novels
Novellas
Short stories
Under my own name I have had 4 novels professionally published by Scholastic and Random House, plus 18 short stories (see bar on right). I have also had a lot more published as a ghostwriter for hire in a variety of genres. My writing CV is available upon request. I am represented by Robert Kirby of United Agents.
Publishing
Typesetting
Editing and copy editing
Proof reading
I use the skills gained from a 16-year publishing career to see magazines, journals and books through from initial manuscript to printed copies. I have worked so far in the fields of social science, IT, medicine, law, classic cars and science fiction.
