Robert R. Chapman, Jr.

This is the website of Robert Chapman, a technical communicator living in Everett, Washington.

My interest is in doing technical communications work, something I have done for 30 years. This has included working remotely successfully for over 10 years.

Previous work involved working as a computer operator, secondary education, and insurance loss prevention.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

—J.R.R. Tolkein, The Lord of the Rings

Robert Chapman is a technical communicator living in Everett, Washington. This is about 30 miles north of Seattle and Redmond. He is available for a variety of editing and writing work.

Bob’s dedication to clarity and consistency is as impressive as it is rare. From time to time a marketing editor tells me they have a question – point of view, really – from “this guy, Robert Chapman.” My standard answer is “Listen to what he says. He’s smart and relentless. And he’s probably right.” I’ll give the same advice to you. You’ll appreciate him as much as I do.

Robert jumped into a project mid-stream and was able to not only pick up the work and deliver immediate results, but added such value to the client, that it resulted in schedule recoveries and we were able to deliver on time. He is extremely personable, has deep knowledge of the subject matter and a supreme work ethic. I would definitely hire him again for another project.

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
