Since 1999, thousands have used my best-selling e-book to launch a lucrative career in technical writing!


Perfect for mid-life career-changers, teachers, technicians, creative writers, or anyone who wants to work as a freelance or fulltime writer.

 

Dear Friend,

Are you a creative and talented writer who just can't find a way to earn your living purely from writing?

Do you have abilities in any technical arena? In other words, are you a repairperson, electrician, or a computer operator/support person?

Are you a teacher, instructor, or trainer?

Are you unemployed or underemployed at your present job and looking for a better career?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you owe it to yourself to consider a career in technical writing.

If you can communicate clear, concise instructions, then you can be a technical writer. Through this book, I will show you, step by step, how to turn your writing talent into a rewarding and lucrative career, just as I did in 1997 ... at the age of 42! (Click here to read more about my background.)

Technical writers earn a great living!

Technical writing involves creating the documentation for the products and services we use. Just think about it. At the least, every device and process, from hairdryers to laptops, requires a user guide, documentation during the development phase, and training manuals to teach others. Technical writing skills are also required for successful grant writing, proposal writing, and lots more.

Let me show you how to use your years of experience to help people learn what you know! For instance, someone with an accounting background would be the perfect technical writer for a manual on using a new accounts payable system!

Other examples of technical writing are:

  • Online help to aid people in using a software program
  • Training manuals to teach employees how to use a system
  • Personnel manuals for Human Resource departments
  • Web pages describing a company's products or services
  • Responses to government proposals that can bring millions of dollars in business to the company for whom you work (and maybe bring you nice fat bonus!)

As technology explodes, the need for documentation grows exponentially! That's what makes this field so much in demand, and why new writers, with an aptitude for instructional writing, are always welcome.

And, while you may not have direct experience as a technical writer (YET!), How to Become a Technical Writer will show you how to channel your existing knowledge and develop the skills you need to land that first job!

Technical writers are privy to the same joys as other writers, with one BIG difference:

Technical writers consistently get paid well to use their writing talent.

Written in convenient e-book format, How to Become a Technical Writer will guide you through the process of landing your first job and developing your skills. (By the way, there is nothing precluding a technical writer from pursuing other avenues of creative writing as well. I used to write a bi-weekly personal newspaper column and have colleagues who write mystery novels, adult fiction and poetry!)

How to Become a Technical Writer will teach you all of this and more:

  • How to search for jobs
  • Create a technical writing resume using your current experience
  • Learn by doing FREE tutorials and where to find them
  • Understand important style rules for technical writing
  • What software you need and how to access free versions
  • The way to build confidence
  • How to land that first job
  • The four most common misconceptions about technical writers
  • Three vital tips to begin your journey
  • How to decide whether to work as a contractor or full-time employee

Plus, six successful technical writers share their stories about how they broke into the field.

All in all, you get over 200 pages and 23 chapters of practical, motivational, career-building advice.

"I just finished your book, "How to Become a Technical Writer," and let me tell you that I had dreams of being a technical writer last night."

Kimberley, Birmingham, AL

 

"Susan targets the uninitiated: journalists, English majors, teachers, anybody who thinks they might take to 'manual labour.' It's punchy, motivational and accurate. Susan untangles the novice's very human concerns and seeks to mollify some common misgivings. If you feel that you might like to pursue a career in technical communications, and don't know where to start, you can 'pick up' a copy of this eBook from Susan's web site 'The Tech Writing Marketplace.' The answers are in there."
