Asking the right questions in technical writing

Skyline view of Paris with Eiffel Tower in background.

All good things must come to an end and, sadly, our series from guest blogger David Farbey listing the right questions for technical writers to ask different project experts is one of them. BUT… you can find all the posts in the series below:

We’d like to thank David for his insightful and practical posts. There has been some discussion on his series over on LinkedIn’s Technical Writer Forum, but we’d also love to hear your approaches here on the blog, too. So if you think there’s anything you would add to the fact-finding side of technical writing, do let us know.

Call for bloggers: We’re also looking for more expert guest bloggers to post their advice and insights to candidates seeking tech comms, content strategy and other professional Web-related roles so please get in touch. You’ll share great company – with some of the world’s leading experts in their field – so don’t be shy, email us today – we look forward to hearing from you.
