By "writer," do you mean "author?" Then I would definitely say yes.

On the other hand, I think it would be very hard to find work as a technical writer without a degree.

It depends on what she looks like
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

I'm an advertising copywriter, and one of the things I like about this career is that the ability to get a job has shockingly little to do with where you went to school. Getting an interview is probably 98% dependent on your portfolio of work. I'd interview a candidate with a great book and a GED over someone with an average book and a degree from Harvard.
