Iris H.

I'm a bilingual Chinese-English writer with over 13 years of experience. Born and raised in Shanghai, I studied and worked in the United States from 2000 to 2005. I started my career as a web writer, and later became a journalist, and now a content manager in a large multi-national company. I strive for new challenges and have always been taking writing as my hobby. Whenever I write, I put myself in my audience's shoes, feeling their pains and delights. I always think of the question "what's in it for them"? I have received professional training in writing using Simplified Technical English (check out the ASD-STE100 specifications at [login to view URL]). It is a type of controlled language that is easy to translate, consistent and secure. I believe in writing for clarity over cleverness, and writing to inform or influence rather than to impress. I may not be a writer of beautiful prose or verse, but I always make my writing easy to understand even for the 8th grade.
