Who is Scriptorium?

A professional writer has the skills to write your project well -- in less
time. Save your staff the extra headaches and let Scriptorium do the
writing for you. We work with people in a variety of positions from
management to field crews and are comfortable gathering information
from sources in the office and in the field. With a combination of first
hand interviews and secondary research, Scriptorium writers craft a
written product that reflects your company's needs and message
leaving no trace of our involvement.

Our team is comprised of well-trained and experienced writers who love what they do.

Annette Wierstra (Senior Partner) is a technical writer who has been writing professionally for
over 10 years. She has experience creating and managing multiple training and procedural
projects with a focus on water and wastewater treatment, software and policy manuals. Annette
has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alberta but it was at Grant MacEwan where she
discovered her true calling. While earning her Bachelor of Applied Communications in
Professional Writing Annette discovered that she actually liked technical documentation and
organizing information. She started her technical writing career working at EPCOR Water
Services for four years.

Before working as a technical writer, Annette worked as a journalist and managing editor. She
also wrote, managed and developed content for websites. Her varied experience means that she
has a range of writing and project management skills to create your project deliverable. In her
spare time, Annette also teaches technical writing in the Professional Writing program at Grant
MacEwan Community College.

Pamela Scott (Senior Partner) has always loved to write but it wasn't until she found a way to
marry her logical and practical side with her creative side, that she found her career. After 7
years working in customer service, she went to Grant Macewan and took one year of general
studies hoping to find that elusive "love'. She fell in love with professional writing and thought she
might be a speechwriter until she discovered Technical writing. Pamela completed her Diploma
in Professional Writing in 2004. She then began working as a technical writer for EPCOR until a
new career choose her. Pamela has always been happiest and most effective when she has lots of
things on the go, so right now with managing a family and business she says, "I feel like I finally
got it right."

Linda Moore (Junior Writer) is a 4th year student in the Bachelor of Applied Communications
in Professional Writing program, School of Communications, at Grant MacEwan College in
Edmonton, Alberta. While completing her degree, Linda has had opportunities to develop and
write technical materials for small businesses in the Edmonton area. Some projects she has
developed and written are a procedural manual, parts of an Environmental Health Safety and
Safety program, and a human resources policy manual. Linda joined the Scriptorium team in
May, 2009, and offers her ability to organize information into a user-friendly order, and to write
procedural and instructional materials in plain language while maintaining a personable writing
style that appeals to her audience.
