Hire Freelance Technical Writers for Your Projects

Technical writing involves writing about a particular subject in either a directional, instructional, or explanatory tone. The purpose of this style of technical writing is very different from creative or academic writing. The main aim of these technical writers is to provide technical information or instructions about a particular subject. Some examples of this type of technical writing include instruction manuals, policy documents, user manuals, reports, and process manuals.

What Do Freelance Technical Writers Do?

Technical writers usually fill the roles of both writers and researchers, as they perform extensive research about the document and its contents to become subject matter experts, and then write it in a formal and impersonal language. Technical writers usually begin by understanding their audience which helps them decide the extent to which they need to explain technical details, abbreviations, and acronyms. Freelance writers gather sufficient technical information to be included in the document and make a rough draft with the section and sub-section headings and the points that need to be covered in each of these. After ensuring that the draft has all the details that need to be addressed, they then start working on the final technical document, making sure that the writing is impersonal, straightforward, thorough, and instructional.

If you are looking for freelance technical writers for hire, you can connect with a remote technical writer on Guru. However, before making a hiring decision, you should ensure that your technical writer:

  • Is familiar with the style, tone, language, format, and content of technical documents.

  • Possesses subject matter expertise or can perform extensive research in order to draft your technical document.

  • Can write in an instructional format if your technical document has instructional or educational content.

  • Has an extensive portfolio of technical documents written in different styles and for various purposes.

Qualifications of Freelance Technical Writers

  • An educational background in either writing with a degree in English, journalism, or communications, or a degree in a technical specialty

  • Proficiency in online publishing software and productivity suites
