This comprehensive eBook includes almost everything I've learned during my 22-year career as a senior technical writer, working for Fortune 100 corporations like ADP, Fannie Mae, and Honeywell.
I wrote well over a hundred user guides during those 22 years. Made a lot of errors in the beginning of my career. I made notes of not only those mistakes but also the goals I scored as well. They are all here, in this eBook.
Writing a user guide is the basic and important technical writing task, whether you're working in a corporate setting or alone as a freelancer.
It's also the classic staple of a technical writer's portfolio. If you are looking for a job, you first need to prove that you know how to write a user manual.
In this jampacked volume, I explain how to write and format a user guide, with a whole Appendix reserved for writing an installation guide. May you study and profit from it.
