Technical Writing and Editing
It is well known that engineers and scientists, while being experts in their fields, do not always make the best writers. These authors often miss their mark when conveying technical information to the public. Companies that enlist their engineers, scientists, or product developers as writers and editors run the risk of publishing unprofessional documents. Issues that may occur include:
- Writing above or below the level of the intended audience
- Providing too much or too little detail
- Writing poorly worded or constructed sentences
- Repeating sentences, paragraphs, or ideas
- Producing poorly organized or presented documents
- Failing to credit others’ work through the proper use of citations, references, and bibliographies
- Missing grammar, spelling,
and punctuation errors

We are able to translate technical information into clear, readable documents easily understood by your audience, whether that is the general public or a group of scientists and engineers.
