I am interested in doing some occasional work in technical writing for specialist technical fields (not consumer or IT). Does anyone have any leads or know of any requirements in this area ?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You mean, non-pharma and non regulatory guidelines type of writing?

If this is what you are looking for, the only requirement i could see is that you can actually do the job and have a sound understanding of the subject. Normally, a sample of your work should do to convince your future employer. As of late, the tech writters are being asked to put their copy in graphic design programs (like indesign, for example) so save typesetting costs.

Hope this helps,
