Technical writing | Opal Affinity

We work in a world filled with technology and regulations, which can lead to the generation of some complex information. Whether it is written or spoken, information needs to be clear for its audience. Written documents need to be logical and usable in all contexts – from government regulations to engineering detail.

Technicians or subject specialists may know their content but often get bogged down when trying to document the processes or write a business case. It may be simple to say ‘write for your audience’, but the reality is you need to consider the document’s purpose, the technical knowledge of your audience and the order that key information is introduced. Through our research, we have been able to break down the steps that writers need to be aware of.

Good writing, whether it be a report or a procedure, rarely happens without good planning and careful revisions. A writer needs to produce a coherent text, and we can guide your staff to set up practical steps to organise information and check a text’s coherence. We can also work with your teams to draft and edit your documents.
