What is a technical writer-editor?

Career: Writer Editor

A writer-editor both creates and edits written content for a publication. A technical writer-editor focuses on technical documents such as user manuals, white papers, assembly diagrams, and other highly detailed information. Responsibilities for a technical writer-editor require a deep understanding of the area or field they are working in as well as cultivation of a voice that focuses primarily on facts, figures, and statistics. An editor in this field still reads for correct grammar and consistency, while ensuring that technical information is clear and accurate.
