Attendees will learn that technical writing requires multiple skills, from an understanding of the technology to writing ability and social skills. It is not just about grasping technical information and recording it in a document. Technical writing takes high-level information and processes it into digestible content for a specific audience. Attendees might also be surprised to discover that the process can take just as much (or more!) time to plan and review than to write. All the knowledge is correlated with an attempt to write a book chapter.
