About

Experienced technical writer / editor / documentation specialist

Hello! I'm Nicole Gogel. I'm a technical writer with 11 years' experience creating documentation for different industries. Documentation includes: manuals, guides, reports, articles, FAQs, and even tool tips for software UI/UX. Technical writing is exciting because each new experience is a chance to learn something new, whether it is a new industry, product, or skill. My own skills include conducting research and editing documents for accuracy in order to clearly and concisely communicate complex information to non-technical audiences. They can also be used for blogs, blurbs, and blergs (that last one isn't real but if you want to make it real, I can help communicate it to your audience). With my experience also comes a flair for formatting and use of images and graphics to support your project. Software I have experience with includes Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs, RoboHelp, Zendesk, and ScreenSteps.

I'm excited to bring my experience to the freelance world to help you with your content needs!

Useful bits about my background: I have B.A. in English and a Masters in Library and Information Science. I'm fluent in English (native) and am learning French for fun.

I'd love to hear from you to discuss your next project!
