Introduction to Technical Writing

This e-book is focused on those who wish to make a career of technical writing or who may use technical writing as a part of their job. Some roles within corporate America may require that you do some form of technical writing as a part of your job function. These roles may include a copy writer, a training developer or a business or compliance analyst. Persons in many other roles would benefit from having some level of technical writing skill as well. This would include any type of technical analyst, project manager or anyone who produces any type of documentation in general.

Having a basic understanding of technical writing can help you in many ways. From writing impressive emails, to producing top-notch support documents, knowing how to write effectively to your audience is a skill that will serve you well throughout your career.

This e-book will provide you with the fundamentals of technical writing and give you the skills you need to excel when it comes to writing and explaining unfamiliar or technical processes in a way that the layman can understand.

If you wish to make technical writing your career, I would suggest that you start with this book then move on to more intermediate and advanced technical writing studies. Otherwise, the information in this book should be enough to suffice for those wishing to learn to write better documents and produce more sophisticated internal materials. This information has been the backbone of my technical career spanning over twenty years in technical writing, training and e-learning development.
