Specific fields have a language and syntax unto themselves. It is critical to your project that you hire the right editor, one that understands these needs from first-hand experience. I have vast experience in this realm, and have supervised the development of everything from aircraft checklists to software training packages. Skills and processes that need to be documented need to be presented correctly, or your end users will have no tools from which to draw. Computer and IT materials all too often don’t address the intended audience, manuals and technical materials sometimes do not provide the level of needed detail, and documentation developed from foreign source materials can confuse your end user. These are my specialties.
Documentation is modeled to assume a knowledge or skill set for the intended user. This can range from adolescent to the professional/articulate level. I focus on the intended user to achieve the greatest level of impact the material can provide. There is a difference between communicating, “click on the Edit button,” or, “use your mouse to select the Edit option at the top of the screen.” Both say the same thing, focused editing will ensure your critical information is conveyed in a clear and meaningful manner. If your product is for marketing, your end result will provide both appeal and immediate comprehension to your target audience.
