Readable technology writing
Need help with your technology writing?
Struggling to find the time to put your ideas down on paper?
I can help you research, write and edit a full range of technology documents.
Content Discovery
As a former journalist and business analyst, I have the skills and experience to dig deep and elicit the right information to build a comprehensive view of any topic.
Researching
- Have an idea, but not sure where to start?
- Need someone trained in formal and informal research techniques?
- My research experience includes academic studies, journalism investigation and technology requirements gathering.
Interviewing
- Your staff may have the knowledge, but can they put pen to paper?
- I use a range of interview techniques to extract critical information from your team.
- This information is then converted into strawman text documents for review and further development as needed.
Ghost-writing
With over 20 years of experience in the ICT sector, I can compose a full range of technology papers.
White Papers
Share your IP with your clients by publishing a white paper to fully inform them of the pros and cons of any topic.
Client Presentations
Put your best foot forward with well-written documents using plain language that your clients will understand.
Board Papers
Board papers need to inform their audience with just enough technical knowledge to get the point across.
Editing
Editing to improve comprehension, structure and overall expression. Includes proofreading, plus:
- Plain English re-writing tailored for document audience.
- Re-structuring to ensure readability. Does it “tell the story”?
- Check the logic and accuracy of facts.
- Technology sense check.
Proofreading
Review publication-ready copy for spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Includes:
- Correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, case consistency.
- Remove or explain complex terminology and spell out acronyms.
