WikiAnswers contributors share their take:
- Technical writing is a matter of writing documents that explain or accompany products. It's flexible work, but often considered very monotonous and boring.
- Not every writer can be a technical writer, just as not every writer can be a novelist. The goal of technical writing is always clarity. Technical writers want to write so there is the least possible chance of misunderstanding. Technical writers may also be responsible for designing graphic aids (diagrams, illustrations, charts, graphs and the like) to help explain things.
Technical writing rarely has a "style" - or rather, the style is so transparent that readers aren't really aware that the text was "written". Larger companies that produce a number of products (Microsoft, for example) have in-house technical writing teams and style guides. Smaller companies may hire out technical writing to independent contractors.
- Technical writing is the art of being able to explain/describe complex ideas to both technical and nontechnical audiences usually in the form of a Manual. This could range from describing a complex procedure to maintain a specific type of military apparatus to explaining how to assemble a baby's playpen to a consumer. In all cases, technical writing must be succinct, accurate, comprehensive and easy to understand and follow. Personalization such as humor should not be included in technical writing.
