Technical writing counts among the best, most sought after careers in the Age of Information. Technical writers have their job cut out for them – to connect scientific, highly technical people and terms with the regular world.The challenge is to minimize if not eliminate jargons and break down complex bits of information into more digestible terms.
SheilaViesca, TalkShop CEO notes, “It is no easy feat to pore over complicated information in science, medicine, computer software, hardware and the like, and to rewrite these into an easy read. Besides this, technical writers have to engage and capture the attention of readers. They need to be creative as well to establish rapport.
Viesca offers these tips for technical writers to remember:
1. Be brief, precise, and concise. The key is to write accurately. Make your writingreader-friendly.
2. Begin and end with the main message or call to action.
3. Keep one idea to a paragraph.
4. Make use of bullets, charts, pictures, and illustrations. Don’t rely merely on text.
5. Upgrade your skills by enrolling in a Technical Writing course.
“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.”-Charles Mingus
