Copywriting Services
There is
much confusion today as to what technical writing is really all about.
Therefore, it is necessary to give you a short explanation on the difference
between “technical writing” and “technical copywriting”.
Most
companies consider technical writing to be the entire process of creating a
printed or electronic document. The “technical writer” is required to create
the text, formatting, layout, diagrams, pictures, binding, and other aspects of
the document. However, this is not what true technical writing is. A technical
writer required to write JAVA or HTML language is actually a computer
programmer. A technical writer who draws diagrams or creates graphics is really
a graphic designer. Companies that require these types of service should not be
seeking or advertising for technical writers, but rather for programmers, graphic
designers, marketing people, etc.
A
true technical writer is really a technical copywriter. Though many do
create some diagrams and other graphic images, a technical copywriter works with
the actual words of the document. Either creating the “copy”, or re-writing
from someone else who created it, a technical copywriter uses their writing
skills to create text that conveys to the clients’ readers, the exact
information and tone the client requires. They may examine diagrams and graphic provided
by the client to create text either separately or for that diagram or graphic.
They may make suggestions on how some layouts should be arranged. But most of all,
technical copywriters are writers, period.
