Contract technical writers compose journal articles, instruction manuals, textbooks, and other documents with complex, technical information that needs to be explained in an easy-to-understand way. Unlike staff writers, contract technical writers are freelancers that work on a short- or long-term contract basis. In this role, you determine the scope of each writing project from your client, then collaborate with product designers and developers to understand what you are writing about. Once you gather the required information, you write and organize the document based on your target audience, adding photographs, drawings, charts, and diagrams as needed. Your documents are proofread and edited before they are published.
| Aspect | Contract Technical Writer | Technical Writer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a degree in English, Communications, or related field; certifications like STC are a plus | Same as Contract Technical Writer, often with similar certifications |
| Work Environment | Project-based, often remote or on-site for specific clients | Full-time employment, may be remote or in-office |
| Employer & Industry | Freelance or consulting firms, tech companies, manufacturing | Corporations, publishers, tech firms, government agencies |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Often searched for project-based or freelance roles | Typically sought as full-time positions |
The main difference between a Contract Technical Writer and a Technical Writer lies in employment type and work setup. Contract Technical Writers work on a project basis, often freelance or temporary, while Technical Writers are usually full-time employees. Both roles require similar skills, credentials, and industry experience, but their work arrangements differ significantly.
