The Not-Boring Tech Writer

Skill #2: Transitioning from Tech Writing to Marketing


Listen Later

What’s the ultimate stereotype of technical writers?

Easy: that once you begin your career as a technical writer, you’re caught in a documentation vortex. And worse – that there’s no way out.

But just like all stereotypes, they’re meant to be broken.

As communication experts, our skills – analyzing an audience; writing crisp, clear, concise copy – surpass documentation into an industry many technical writers like yourself once deemed “in someone else’s wheelhouse.”

The industry: Marketing.

In this episode, you’ll learn how your skills translate to marketing so you can – if desired – get out of the documentation vortex and transition into marketing.
