| Introduction | Welcome to Word Techie. This is a humble, mere, mortal, technical writer who makes a living by writing words such as 'click', 'choose', 'select', and 'clear'. I have been in this exciting field for eight years now. I say exciting because whatever has been has been exciting so far. And I see even more exciting times for technical writers ahead! In my space here, I want to share with you what I have learned on the job, through reading, and through my interaction with people in the same profession. So newbies can find tips on how to start a career in technical writing, what basic concepts define technical writing, and how it is different from other forms of writing. You will also find posts on different flavors of English, technical editing, tools, processes, new trends and the future of technical writing. I will delve into information mapping, structured writing, topic-based authoring, single-sourcing, and DITA. I will also be touching topics such as "how to hire a technical writer" for people who are hiring and "how to get a technical writing job" for people who are applying to these jobs. |
