Freelance Technical Writer
I Write Clear Explanations that Reduce your Support Costs
Hello, I'm Craig Wright, a freelance technical writer based in the East Midlands, UK. I can help you with all your documentation needs, including writing, planning, and designing online help, user guides (manuals), wiki articles, help centre articles, and marketing content.
How I Can Help You:
As a technical documentation specialist, I create content that:
Connects with your customers, and explains concepts and tasks using terms they understand.
Reduces your support costs, saving you time and money, while giving customers a better experience.
Keeps knowledge in your business. People come and go, but the information in your documentation stays in your organisation.
Boosts your brand. Quality documentation shows your customers you think about their needs and creates a good impression.
Makes it easy for your customers to find answers. I use leading tools such as MadCap Flare and Paligo to create first-class user experiences.
Is easier and cheaper to update. I know how to take advantage of content reuse features in the latest authoring tools. Content reuse can make it much easier, quicker, and cheaper to update your content in the future.
The Ideal Technical Writer for your Project?
Why should you choose me as your technical writer? Because I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to your project. I've been a technical writer for 20 years, have a degree in technical communication, and am a fellow of the ISTC. So I understand communication theories, follow best practices, and have hands-on experience that will benefit your business. Importantly, I'm also versatile - I've documented software, hardware, and business processes, and I've worked for huge multi-nationals and small independents. I'm also a trained web copywriter, so can write marketing content too. Sounds good? Then please get in touch. I'd love to hear about your documentation plans. If you'd like to find out more about my background as a technical author and the technical writing services I provide, please browse through my site - there's plenty of information on past projects, testimonials, etc., and some advice too.
Need clear and engaging topic-based software documentation? Let me help. I've worked in software development teams and know agile methodologies and am no stranger to IT-related content.
Your next great hardware device needs exceptional documentation. Hire me to write hardware documentation that connects with your customers and gives them the information they need.
Link building is and will continue to be a tremendously important component of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
I can create help desk articles that are pitched at the right level for your internal staff or customers. Don't have a help desk? Ask me about Paligo for authoring and Zendesk for delivery.

MadCap Flare Certified Technical Writer
If you are using MadCap Flare, you'll be glad to know I am a certified advanced MadCap developer for version 11. Why haven't I updated that to include later versions? Well, there's not been much need - MadCap introduced big changes in version 10, but the changes in the more recent versions have been less dramatic (with the exception of support for their new Central platform).
I've used plenty of other technical communication tools too, including Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Captivate, Paligo, Atlassian Confluence, and MS Word. So no need to panic if you've never heard of Flare - I'm adaptable.
