Technology Communications for the New Economy

Now you have an ally in your quest to generate high-quality written communications for business.
Skilled technicians who have been refining corporate and engineering documents for years, fluent in the language of technology.

The founder of Text Engineer has built a career documenting the work of top technical professionals. Beginning as a catalog writer at Black Box Corporation and through 20 years of service in the multi-disciplinary nuclear power engineering arena, the TE mastered the presentation of complex technical content to audiences as diverse as Asian utility management, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the computer-buying public. In the process, the Text Engineer learned the terminology and concepts of mechanical engineering, structural, software, electronics, process control and regulatory procedures. See Writing Credentials.

Technical Writing with International Experience

The Text Engineer approaches documentation as an essential complement to design, believing technical writing quality should be held to the same strict tolerances as any high-tech component. This view has been strengthened over years as a critical player in a rigorous engineering setting. Simply put, good writing and an efficient publications process improve project execution and customer satisfaction.

A veteran of multiple large-scale projects for overseas clients, TE has mastered the art of writing for audiences for whom English is a second, or even third language. This taught clarity, precision, simplicity.

TE's recent emphases: Corporate writing standards, Human Performance and internal corporate communications, nuclear plant major component replacement; European plant computer and analog-to-digital instrumentation & control system upgrades; utility field service documentation support.

Add to this a Master's in Corporate Communications and a stint in the PR / ad agency world, and you have a facile and versatile business communicator, ready to tackle any of the writing challenges that you face every day. 

Document Editing and Quality Assurance

Text Engineer serves engineering and management daily, once document content is established, as a peerless refiner and polisher of writing. Technical staff trust that a TE review will clean and clarify their prose, and raise the impact of the most salient content. TE offers this premier editing service to tech business at large. By entrusting your document verification to a QA-trained writer, you affirm the importance of publications quality as a support for, and driver of, quality improvement in all your company's business processes.

In conjunction with editing, we can also start you on the road to greater internal consistency by developing a body of writing conventions for you. Application of writing conventions leads to a standardized product among multiple authors and groups, and can elevate customer perceptions of your company immensely.
