Henry Berry, Editor/Publisher, The Small Press Book Review
Bremer learned the methods and principles of writing he calls untechnical writing from 10 years experience as a writer and manager in the entertainment software business, including working for the company that produced the very successful SimCity computer game. Bremer deals specifically, and thoroughly, with the varied sources and purposes of writing in this field; which he sees as a new field of writing calling for the new approaches to writing he expounds. He gives writers clear-headed, experienced guidance on how to make different sorts of technical subjects comprehensible and applicable to general readers. This is obviously an important task in today's growing technological society. Bremer's timely manual is a highly-recommended guide and reference for any writer wishing to write comprehensibly and effectively about technical subjects for non-technical readers.
