Am I the Right Technical Writer for Your Project?

When you hire me, your technical writing project is in safe hands. I’ve been a technical writer since 1997 and have worked for multi-national companies and smaller organisations, so have lots of experience to share. I’ve also studied my craft (BA Hons Technical Communication) and am a fellow of the ISTC, so know best practices.

If you are more interested in hiring me to write promotional content, you’ll be glad to know I’m a certified SEO Success Works copywriter (and VIP lifetime member) and a member of the Pro Copywriters Network.

As a freelancer, I’m used to dealing with stakeholders at different levels, and like to knuckle down and get on with the job. Tell me what you need, point me at your SMEs, and I’ll get on with crafting quality content.

What Customers Say…

Craig combined professionalism with a conversational style in his writing that engaged the reader, often of subject matter that was both complicated and dry, but always managing to make it interesting and accessible.

His ability to converse with technical staff and illicit the finer points of the subject was excellent and combined with his attention to detail meant that nothing was left un-said or ambiguous in the text.

Steve O'Hara

Chief Technical Officer, 4Energy

The help system for ClearSCADA now looks and feels modern and up to date, Craig’s hard work contributed to this.

Paul New

Software Manager, Schneider Electric

Craig not only made the Help docs more readable and useful but actually fed back into the product itself – there is no doubt that the Adaptable Blotter is more user-friendly and intuitive as a result of Craig’s consultancy efforts. We highly recommend him.

Jonathan Wolfson

Director, Adaptable Tools

Craig assimilates technical details quickly and recasts them in a way which is informative and useful without patronising the reader. He is easy to work with and delivers to brief and on time.
