Technical Authoring

Our expertise in Technical Authoring meets your need to communicate descriptive and procedural information in compliance with established or bespoke technical documentation specifications. All of our technical authors are experienced in one or more industry sectors, and all have an electro-mechanical background.

What our technical authors can do for you

Our authors will work with your engineers and designers as necessary to combine your existing information and produce technical publications to your required specification. They can also work on-site as products are developed, to make sure that we gather and incorporate the latest information as soon as it becomes available, which minimizes the delivery time at the end of the project.

Throughout the production process, close liaison will be maintained with you to ensure that your product is delivered on time and on budget.
