software:technical-writer

A technical writer makes the explanatory documents that travel with software, such as tutorials, reference pages, and release notes. The writer shapes each page into a clear artifact that did not exist before, so a reader can understand and use the system. Direction comes from product managers, while developers and designers supply the details; the pages then pass to reviewers and testers who check accuracy and to those who publish them. This trade adds the documentation itself, written so people and software can follow how the system works.
