    Frequently Asked Questions about Technical Writing

    • Technical writing involves writing documents, such as user manuals, white papers, briefs, policy, and reports, to explain complex processes. The text is meant to clearly instruct the reader on how to use a product or carry out a task they may be unfamiliar with, explain a topic in-depth, or report on something. This type of writing is necessary for various fields, including engineering, information technology, energy, and financial services.‎

    • Learning about this subject will prepare you for a career as a technical writer. In the US, the job typically pays an annual wage between $50,087 and $65,655 as of 2020, and demand for the job is expected to increase along with growth in the science and tech industries. As a technical writer, you can work full-time for a company or offer your skills on a freelance basis, working on short-term projects.‎

    • If you're an inquisitive person with an eye for small details, you may be well suited for a technical writing job. Technical writers must be willing to spend long hours researching products and procedures. Good communication skills are also necessary.

    • Online courses can help you sharpen your writing skills and guide you through the technical writing process. Some courses may focus on specific writing formats, such as emails and memos, and others can enhance your research skills.
