What Is Technical Writing? We Make It Make Sense!

Have you ever read a document, instructions, or guide and thought:

What does this even mean?! 

It makes no sense!

This is confusing and hard to follow.

Maybe you or a team member is writing a technical document, but you’re having trouble choosing your words and presentation. 

Perhaps you’re a technical professional who has no time to write but needs to execute their own daily tasks and manage projects.  

As technical writers, we make it make sense! Whatever it  is. 

Technical writing can be described as a writing discipline that takes complex and/or abstract concepts and/or ideas and conveys them in a simplified and concise manner. Clarity is key to technical writing. 

Presenting information in a way that multiple audiences can understand is not an easy task. A healthy dose of creativity with an analytical eye is a great combination for a technical writer to elevate your current content. 

Here at Plume, Pen and Pencil our technical writing is primarily in technology or in tech groups of non-tech companies. 

But we don’t stop there! Our partners have deep knowledge and expertise in the areas of science, manufacturing, business, and medicine. 

If your technical experts are struggling with sharing their ideas in a clear way that makes sense, contact us. We’re here to help.
