Technical Writing: How Stuff Works Project

Technical Writing:  a genre of writing that helps provide directions, instruction, or explanations on a particular subject. Technical writing should be straightforward, easy to understand, and provide clear and efficient ways of explaining something and how it works.

The subject can be either:

  • Tangible: something that can be seen or touched. A computer guidebook, how to assemble a piece of furniture, or instructions on how to use a blender.
  • Abstract: Something that involves a series of steps that aren't related to a tangible object. Steps, for example, on how to accomplish a task.

Examples of technical writing include:

  • Instruction, Assembly, or User manuals
  • Policy & Process manuals 
  • Analysis or Business reports 

Technical writing should be well written, clear & precise. A technical writer should know his/her audience, use a non-personal style of writing, and be able to complete extensive research on the topic in question.

Like it or not, technical writing can get you the profession you wanted! Most "creative" writing in the workplace today comes from people (just like you!) who have the skill to write.
