Presentation: Technical Writing : Is This Right For Me?

Technical Writing is defined by the Society for Technical Communication (STC) as “any form of communication that shows one or more of the following qualities:  

·         Communicating about technical or specialized topics, such as computer applications, medical procedures, or environmental regulations. 

·         Communicating by using technology, such as web pages, help files, or social media sites. 

·         Providing instructions about how to do something, regardless of how technical the task is or even if technology is used to create or distribute that communication.” 

That broad definition covers writing everything from engineering documentation to nursery school policies and procedures! 

 Attend this session to learn what skills are needed to follow (and enjoy!) Technical Writing as a career path.
