Hello! Thanks for checking us out. We promise we won’t bombard you with email if you sign up for our updates. As the only technical writing firm specializing in urban projects, we are always to the point, and will only update the blog when there is real news to share. No fluffy stuff here!
We understand that this is a difficult time for most businesses, but want to encourage you to get in touch. Technical writing can help you bring in more revenue, find new customers – even now – and help build the support for your project that you will need later on. As a start-up that’s introducing new services to government, business, and the community, we want to educate our clients on the value of technical writing.
Typically, technical writing is confined to the fields of IT, finance, medicine, law and the sciences. Why? Because the need for clarity is obvious is those fields, where expensive, and often life and death decisions, are made based on the information that is provided by subject matter experts. They have to be understood. Scribe aims to bring the best practices from the field to city builders like yourself – professionals who want to be able to communicate their great projects to diverse audiences, including your own colleagues, senior leaders, community partners, and the general public. A technical writing assessment can show you how to make your complex ideas clear – and get results. We’re happy to come on board at the start, in the middle, or at the end of a project.
What the heck is technical writing? Technical writing is a growing industry with increasing reach. It helps a subject matter expert communicate, in plain language, the work they are doing, without “dumbing it down”. A technical writer’s job is to provide impartial, reliable, clear and concise information about how something develops, works, or is to be used. After 20+ years in the city building world, we decided it was time to up the game. We created Scribe to work with city builders to ensure their expertise is valued, understood and makes a real contribution to urban solutions. Learn more about the kind of services we offer here.
