?Why do writers write? Because it isn?t there.? These true words about writing were said by Thomas Berger the author of Little Big Man, and they are especially true when the writer is Judith S. VanAlstyne. Shortly after retiring from a three decade long career as a College Professor, she decided she would write a type of book that had not existed before anywhere in the world. She would write a how-to book on technical writing, and in 1986 the first edition of Professional and Technical Writing Strategies: Communicating in Technology and Science appeared in bookstores. It is currently in its 6th Edition, and with each subsequent edition she has updated the book with necessary tips and techniques that have arrived with the times. This book is widely used in universities and colleges around the world. The text is written in a comprehensive and easy-to-read style so it is also accessible to the general public. As technical writing applies to a multitude of fields, this book covers all of its applications and runs the gamut from its uses in scientific disciplines to more business orientated missives. Professional and Technical Writing Strategies: Communicating in Technology and Science is highly commended by professionals and has won awards.
As South Florida is her home, Judith VanAlstyne discovered early on another sort of home ? writing. In high school she worked for her school paper in addition to local papers. She maintained this practice when she went to college. Speaking of her academic instruction, she earned her Bachelors Degree in English at the University of Miami, Ohio; she then went on to Florida and received her Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from Florida Atlantic, University. Afterwards, Dr. VanAlstyne would become a professor at Florida Atlantic, University, and it was here that she was asked to instruct a course in technical writing. As there were no textbooks on the subject she was sent to take courses at Stanford and Princeton in order to learn the techniques of this discipline.
Her retirement from the university enabled Dr. Judith VanAlstyne to fully devote time to her writing. The success of her first book encouraged her in other genres such as travel writing, poetry, and fiction. She has published several articles on travel, and she currently has a book in the works based on her own travels (she has visited over 150 countries including all seven continents). Several of her poems have been published. Two of her poems have the separate honors of each appearing on the first page of two anthologies of Poetry: The International Library of Poetry?s Book: The Timelessness of Voice and Noble House Presents: Centers of Expression. When her travel book is completed, Judith has another writing project in mind ? a romance novel based on personal experience. The story of a young couple who separated primarily due to the long distance nature of their relationship only to be reunited almost forty years later. As this story is based in truth, she feels this book will give the gift of hope with its message that it is never too late.
