Technical Writing Services

ProEdit provides technical writing services for a wide variety of products, companies, and industries. From healthcare to user manuals, software documentation, SEO training materials, and everything in between, our writing team has years of experience in a range of technical content.

Technical content development is important in every business industry, but a company doesn’t necessarily need a full-time in-house technical writer for content creation. This is why small businesses and established enterprises alike will benefit from ProEdit’s technical writing services, which include on-site and remote content development.

What Is Technical Writing?

Technical content writers help the target audience understand the technical aspects of a product or service. To do so, they take complex technical information and translate it into clear, easy-to-understand language.

Here’s an example of high-quality technical documentation:

A technical writer works with a company to develop a white paper. This widely-used content marketing tool outlines a specific problem, challenge, or issue and provides solutions.

White papers are written for a specific target audience, so the technical writer works with the client’s subject matter experts to understand the value of a product, service, or strategy.

This type of technical writing communicates technical information in a concise, clearly organized way, often incorporating case studies, illustrators, and graphic design. In some instances, the white paper may require localization to adapt the content development for different languages and cultures.

With a clear understanding of the subject matter, the technical writer develops the white paper using standard operating procedures (SOPs) such as preferred style guides and document design standards. After the client and its SMEs review the draft, the technical writer makes revisions and delivers the product to the client.

What Skills Do ProEdit’s Technical Writers Have?

ProEdit has a highly skilled team of technical writers ready to tackle your project. We hire U.S.-based, native English speakers with proven (and tested) writing skills and extensive experience in the technical communication industry.

We hire both full-time and part-time technical writers to keep us nimble to meet your project demands. All of our writers have a bachelor’s degree or applicable professional degree, and many have advanced degrees in a wide variety of applicable fields.

Our team members also understand and employ industry-standard document design techniques. They focus on the usability of the technical content they produce.

Technical writing services encompass more than just writing. ProEdit’s technical communication writing team also has astute communication skills. Our content writers interact regularly with clients and subject matter experts to understand complex information and cull it into clear, usable technical content. Client interaction may also include video calls, face-to-face content-gathering meetings, and visits to client facilities (for example, a manufacturing plant).
