about by the fact that tomorrow

So You Want To Be
Technical Writers Decode Data
By ERNIE HOOD
Distributed by NEA
The many technical and scien
tific developments of recent ye
ars have created a growing de
mand for writers skilled in in
terpreting these developments.
The technical writer organizes,
writes and edits material about
science and technology into a
form most useful to those who
need to use it — whether it be
a technician or repairman, a
scientist or engineer, and exe
cutive or a housewife.
Their writing product can take
many forms, such as publicity
releases on a company’s scien
tific or technical achievement:
articles for scientific publica
tions; or even preparation of te
chnical manuals for use in an
industry.
There were about 30,000 tech,
nlcal writers and editors em
ployed in 1967, most recent year
of record, and many of them
were located in the electronics
and aero-space industries.
Well-qualified and experienced
technical writers are expected
to find excellent employment op
portunities through the 19705.
Beginners who have good writ-

ing ability and appropriate edu
cation also should find many
opportunities. The greatest de
mand probably will be for tech
nical writers with backgrounds
in electronics and communica
tions, particularly in research
and development.
The employment of technical
writers is expected to increase
moderately during the 1970 s be
cause of the need to put the in
creasing volume of scientific and
technical information into lan
guage that can be understoood
by management for decision
making and by technicians for
operating and maintaining com
plicated industrial equipment.
Also, since many products will
continue to be assembled from
components manufactured by
different companies, technical
writers will be in demand to de
scribe, in simple terms, the in
terrelationships of these com
ponents.
Technical writers with train
ing in journalism also will find
opportunities in other fields that
employ writers, such as adver
tising, public relations, trade
publishing, radio and tele
vision.
In 1967, inexperienced tech
nical writers with bachelors’ de
grees w r ere hired in private in
dustry at starting salaries rang
ing from $5,000 to $7,000 a year;
those with moderate experience

Technical writers usually work
the standard 40-hour week, but
they may work under consider
able pressure, frequently work
ing overtime when a deadline
has to be met on a publication
or report.
Some employers prefer appli
cants with degrees in engineer
ing or science who have had
courses in writing. Others seek
graduates with majors in En
glish or journalism who have
taken some courses in scientific
and technical subjects. All em
ployers place great emphasis
on writing skills.
Few schools offer formal un
dergraduate programs leading to
a bachelor’s degree in technical
writing or technical journalism.
However, about 170 colleges and
universities provide profes
sional education leading to a ba
chelor’s degree in journalism.
Most of these offer at least one
course in technical writing or
technical journalism as part of
the regular curriculum.
Beginners often assist exper
ienced technical writers by do
ing library research, by editing,
and by preparing drafts of por
tions of reports. Experienced
writers in organizations with
large technical writing staffs
may become technical editors
or progress to supervisory and
administrative positions. After
gaining experience and contacts,
a few’ may open their own job
: shops.
Consultation with school coun
selors will be helpful for those
considering this field.
