Technical Writing and Editing

The need today for quality communications that are clear, succinct, easily read and understood, and readily translated (when necessary) has never been greater. Leadership in both business and government is dependent on great communication. If your audience cannot quickly understand your message, they will leave you.

All of these point to a need for quality technical writing services.

JC Write is a small company located in the heart of the California Central Valley just south of Modesto in Ceres. With over fifteen years experience, we provide the following technical writing services:

• Technical writing
• Editing

Many believe that it is only the high-tech companies that need and use technical writers. This is patently false as technical writing, also now called technical communication, covers a vast range of documentation and communication skills. A quick visit to the Society for Technical Communication’s website (www.stc.org) will show that in addition to traditional technical writing and editing, it also includes marketing communication, information architecture, instructional design, and a host of other skills that all businesses need and use every day.

Many companies do not need a full-time technical writer. So whether you need a short term project completed, such as writing or editing a technical manual, or ongoing support such as a newsletter or consulting on a large project such as converting to a content management system for single-sourcing your documents, JC Write can supply any of your technical communication needs.

Contact us today to discuss your needs and develop a plan that will meet them.

“I hired Jim Collins along with 5 other editors to edit several large lab manuals for high school physics, chemistry, and biology. As requirements for editing changed through the development process, Jim easily and quickly adjusted to the changes. He is a great team player, able to work comfortably with a variety of personalities. Writers praised Jim for his edits and valuable feedback, indicating that their lab manuals were much improved after he was done with them. As this enormous project wound down, Jim was one of the last two editors I kept to the end. I would hire Jim again, without doubt!”
