Two things I recommend: the Google tech writing courses: https://developers.google.com/tech-writing https://developers.google.com/tech-writing
And "Bugs in Writing", which I've been pressing into people's hands for twenty years now. https://www.amazon.com/BUGS-Writing-Revised-Guide-Debugging/dp/020137921X https://www.amazon.com/BUGS-Writing-Revised-Guide-Debugging/...
- raybb 4y agoHave you taken the Google tech writing course? Were there any big takeaways for you? About a year or so ago I read through a bunch of that course and it seemed like it would be okay for someone who is new to writing in a business setting. But generally the summary was said: be concise as possible while still getting the message across to the appropriate audience. Looking at it again, the "organizing large docs" is pretty good. https://developers.google.com/tech-writing/two/large-docs#prefer_task-based_headings https://developers.google.com/tech-writing/two/large-docs#pr... "Choose a heading that describes the task your reader is working on. Avoid headings that rely on unfamiliar terminology or tools."
