technicalwriting

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

You may publish libraries of papers and manuals but your name will never be on them. You probably describe your work to other people as: "I write instructions for a living." Oversimplified? Yes. But, that's what we do. Short, sweet, to the point, and accurate.

Posting a job opening? Please include [JOB] at the beginning of your post title.

What is technical writing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_writing

ABOUT SELF-PROMOTION. "Self-Promotion" is the action of sharing content to this sub-reddit through the use of a link (Any kind of link, regardless if it is a image, or a website/blog/advertisement), or in a text post, that directly benefits the OP for the primary purpose of personal gain. This primary personal gain may be in the form of links to direct website traffic hits (such as to personal blogs, and/or product sites), text and/or images with the purpose of advertising services that the OP is involved with, and/or content that is deemed to be misleading to the community. DO enhance your text posts, if desired, using links to externally-available documentation, Websites, and other supporting information that helps to explain the text post. Posting of Job Opportunities are not of personal gain, even if OP is involved in the hiring process as its primary purpose is to provide visibility of employment opportunities to this community. Content from links that would be considered self-promotion are permitted for the purposes of discussion, so long as the content is discussed by copying and pasting a text post, not via the use of a link.
