What can a Technical Writer do for Your Calgary Business?

As you're considering how to add professionalism to your documentation project, whether it's a user manual, training guide, or online help file, ensure that you don't overlook what a trained technical writer can do for you.

It may be tempting to assign the project to an employee, who may be overworked or unwilling to do documentation. Or perhaps you believe that you can save money by hiring a student or non-professional consultant. Please consider asking yourself the following questions before making your decision. Does this person:

• have the soft skills necessary to interview subject-matter experts and work in a collaborative setting?
• have the ability to quickly grasp technical information and distill it into documents that are understood and usable by the intended audience?
• understand usability principles and apply them to all documentation projects?
• know how to write clearly, concisely, and correctly, while delivering on time & under budget?
• perform well under tight deadlines and with minimal supervision?
• have proficiency in MS Word, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe RoboHelp, MS Office, and illustration software?
• belong to a professional technical communication society?
• enjoy doing documentation?

If you can't answer 'yes' to most of those questions, then you will be well served to hire an experienced technical writer (I possess all the above qualifications). Please contact me to learn more about my experience and how I can add value and professionalism to your project.
