Technical communicators are professional writers and artists who develop business or technical documents to communicate complex and technical information clearly, concisely, and consistently.
As a technical communicator, I develop communications material – including, but not limited to, user manuals, how-to-guides, journal or magazine articles, briefs, bids, proposals, press releases, web content, training material, and product descriptions.
My rates depend on the scope, workload, and complexity of the project.
Subcontractor’s fees are not included. Those rates will be charged on top of mine and depend on the contractors.

Yes. A technical communicator needs to work and liaise with everybody involved in the project, from developers and designers to marketers and salespeople.
The writer is often the one who holds the reins, knowing who still needs to deliver what and when. While designers need to design, developers need to develop, and salespeople need to sell, technical writers spend 100% of their attention on the project.
I work from my home office, where I have all the standard equipment I need. You will need to provide any specialist equipment (specific to your product or service), the required information. and an easily accessible “go-to” Subject Matter Expert or company liaison.
Since 2014, I have been working with the technical committee of the New Zealand Roofing Manufacturers Association (NZMRM) in rewriting the New Zealand Metal Roof Cladding Code of Practice. I am also a regular contributor to the “Scope” roofing magazine.
