Freelance Technical Writing Opportunities
What kind of people are technical writers?
A surprising number of people are involved in technical writing. The engineer, the marketing executive, the PR consultant and the quality manager all need words that describe things in simple terms.
Sometimes, they write the text themselves; and we get many engineers on the course who want to hone their skills.
But managers often hire a freelance writer to write the words; and it is the would-be freelance who often enrolls on the Diploma course.
The advantages of being a technical writer
There are many advantages to being a technical writer. If you're a freelance, you can build a close relationship with the firms you work for, and they may give you work over many years.
The projects are often large, extending over many days or weeks. This means a larger flow of income for you.
You can work from home, and fit your work around your other commitments.
Your work may be read by thousands, even millions, of people. And technical writing puts your writing skills to use. Think how nice it would be do enjoyable work, and be paid for it.
