Writing Programs for Technical Professionals — from Dr. Jim Lewis, engineer, teacher, coach, and bestselling author who has spent a lifetime making complex ideas clear.
Welcome!
I’m Dr. Jim Lewis, an engineer, teacher, coach, and author whose books on project management have been published by McGraw-Hill, AMACOM, and other major publishers and used by professionals around the world.
Today, I help technical professionals turn their knowledge, experience, and expertise into clear, authoritative nonfiction books. My Writing Program for Technical Professionals is designed for engineers, scientists, managers, professors, consultants, and other experts who know their subject but need a practical process for organizing, writing, and completing a professional-quality book.
I bring to that work decades of experience in engineering, project management, teaching, consulting, and publishing. My approach treats a book as both a creative endeavor and a manageable project—one that can be planned, structured, written, revised, and brought successfully to completion.
