When I explore a topic, I want to create my representation of it. That’s why I started to write about technical writing.
Retrospectively looking at the 11 articles that I wrote, they belong to three categories:
- Identity: that’s how technical writing looks as a human endeavor. Every job’s mission defines it as a part of human society.
- Sources: writing needs sources of information, and technical writing is no exception. Great focus on subject matter experts (SMEs): they are the most relevant source.
- Techniques: that’s how technical writing puts in place technical communication. I collected some tips for success in simplifying the life of users, whoever they are, whatever product they use.
So that’s my 11 pieces collection. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful!
