Tips for New Technical Writers

 

1. Know your audience: Are you writing for developers, end-users, or internal teams?
2. Be concise and clear: Avoid jargon unless necessary—and explain it when you use it.
3. Use visuals: Diagrams, screenshots, and code snippets can make your writing more effective.
4. Structure matters: Use headings, bullet points, and consistent formatting.
5. Revise and test: Always review your work and, if possible, have someone else test your instructions.
