Technical Writing: How to Become a Profitable, Reliable, and Successful Technical Writer

I can help. I’m Joseph Phillips, and I’ve written hundreds of technical magazine articles and I’ve published 33 books for companies like McGraw-Hill, Pearson Education, and the American Management Association.

In this course I’ll guide you through the technical writing process – not how to write, but how to write effectively, quickly, and accurately. I will show you my exact approach to technical writing that I’ve developed over the past twenty years. You can adapt my technical writing system to your career to grow your technical writing demand.

This isn’t a gimmick, but an honest method that I’ve used in my writing career. There are no shortcuts to good, effective technical writing, but this approach will help you to streamline your writing and editing time, every time.

In this course we’ll also examine the revision processes, working with editors, and the importance of writing well. We will also discuss how to promote the book through web sites, blogs, webinars, and press releases.

Technical writing is more than just a nonfiction book. Technical writing is education through the written word. Readers look to technical books to help them achieve specific goals in their lives - and it's up to you, the technical writer - to write clear, concise directions for your readers.

Let’s get started today to begin growing your profitable technical writing career.

I think he could condense sections down to half in the previous chapters. I see where he's going. I like his voice, and how he talks to the listener. It's a parental approach and gives me the drive to keep listening

The content is about publishing technical books, this seems outdated in 2024. There is nothing about technical content embedded in applications systems - help. Also it sees repetitive and could be more concise.
