How to become a technical writer?
I have recently seen a number of discussions asking technical writers if they chose to become a writer or if it was more by chance. After some side discussion with other technical writers, I started to think about the people with whom I have worked and interviewed during the last 15 years. The interesting thing is that I have known very few people who one day decided to go into this profession and followed that with the question, “How do I become a Technical Writer?” In simple terms, nobody graduates from high school and says, I want to grow up and become a tech writer.
