Want someone with a degree to back up their boasting?
You've found one. I graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a BS in Professional & Technical Communication (with Highest Honors) and an Advanced Certificate in Technical Information Design.
http://www.rit.edu
Are you looking for a professional freelance writer?
Then look no further. I have experience creating and rewriting website content, technical documents, and newsletters (both corporate and nonprofit). Help documentation is my specialty - oDesk hired me to re-write their entire help center.
What don't I do?
If you are looking for SEO, Marketing or Sales, oDesk has lots of writers who can help you. But I am not one of them. And don't ask me to write batches of keyword articles. I'm not interested.

Mac User
I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6. I haven't installed Windows on this machine. So if your project requires me to regularly use Windows or Windows software, I may not be the right gal for the job... unless you want to purchase the license from Microsoft for me!
