What Publications Should Look for in a Technology Writer By: David Geer What to look for in a technology writer. A good technology writer has a good portfolio. The writer you want will have samples that parallel the content you’re looking for. A good portfolio sample can be found at http://www.GeerCom.com/samples.html. A good technology writer is a good investigator. A professional technology writer takes time to get to know you, your publication, and your goals. What do you really want to get out of this project? A great writer will ask because a disciplined professional needs to know. A good technology writer is a team player. Professional writing requires top-notch communications skills on all levels, not just in the text of your articles and features. The writer you want should be able to carry on a dialogue with you and your team to discover your needs, and to make sure that they are met. A good technology writer is prepared to work with you and your team until you’re satisfied. Consultations, revisions and changes should be built into the fee. These are part of the process and should be foreseen by the writer. Finally, a good technology writer instills confidence. After providing the necessary requirements and information, you should feel comfortable letting the writer drive where the story is concerned. You should be able to rely on their responsiveness to your queries. You should be assured that they will deliver all that you expect and more.
