OLDER NEWS: Since October 2011, I’ve been writing the “Sustainable Plastic Packaging” blog here – unlike some blogs, its goal is to be focused, concise, and thought-provoking, always incorporating several links as documentation rather than just spouting unsupported opinions – stay tuned for new entries every week.

Welcome to the home page of Mike Tolinski, technical writer, editor, industry analyst, and sustainable materials researcher. If you’re seeking flexible, quick-responding assistance in developing written technical materials, I offer editing & writing services for publications and companies that support manufacturing and other industrial communities. My engineering background helps me translate difficult technical concepts into readable text for multiple kinds of readers. My projects have included:

· Technical article writing and/or editing, and blogging.

· Book writing, including two recent technical books (click on each cover):

· Scripts for technical documentary videos

· PR & B2B materials, including whitepapers, news releases & case histories

My project terms are flexible, as are my talents (see my background).

For a discussion of your needs; call 734-604-1735 or email me. You can also follow me at Twitter and LinkedIn.
