Contract vs. Permanent Technical Writers

by Ivan on May 20, 2009

WritingAssist have published a set of interesting articles on the tech writing industry. In this issues, that discuss SMEs and the value of contract tech writers. “as a permanent technical writer increases his or her understanding of the company’s market and the audience for the technical writer’s deliverables, quality, usability and suitability of the technical writer’s output is also likely to improve. A problem can arise when a hiring firm with a need for quality technical communications goes out in the open market and tries to fill a temporary need. Doing so can be especially problematic for hiring firms who look for technical writers on their own – without the help of a placement firm specializing in technical writers, like Writing Assistance, Inc.”
