Simplifying the complex…. That is what technical writers do.

Technical writing is a type of writing where the author is writing about a particular subject that requires direction, instruction, or explanation. A good technical writer can make a difficult task easy and quickly explain complex information.

Here are the skills of a technical writer:

• Detailed oriented
• Diligent
• Excellent writing skills
• Great Communication skills
• Teamwork
• Language skills
• Knowledge of Technical Terminology

A technical writer knows there is a lot of research that needs to be done.  They examine what information their target audience needs and how it needs to be prepared.  They process documents, translate sources, and complete the editing process.   A technical writer also ensures that the wording of the text is legally and technically flawless.  They work with engineers, software developers, scientists, manufacturers, and executive management to handle and manage the information.

A technical writer IS a technical communicator for you and your organization.  Do you have a technical writer on staff with these skill sets?
