What is
"technical writing"?
Simply put,
technical writing focuses on making technical, complex
information easier for end users and customers to understand. Usually, the
technical writer works very closely with a subject matter expert (SME)
or applications developers to create policies, procedures, work
instructions, workflows and end-user documents. However, it should
not be assumed that technical writing is limited to producing content
about only business operations or software applications. Actually, the
word "technical " in this genre of writing refers to
the expert skills and knowledge that are required for performing
tasks and functions for any job or profession.
Therefore, technical writers are also hired to develop documents for
disciplines such as medicine, manufacturing,
education, advertising, and several other business industries.
