Writing technical / instructional books
 
I am currently drafting an instructional booklet which I intend to market. However I am crap at writing as my grammar is terrible. I just can't make something sound professional or anything that makes much sense.

I have all the technical knowledge i need to create the booklet I just need someone to help me write it....are their people/companies that would help me do this (obviously for a fee!)?

Its so frustrating - i know what i want to write just can't get it down on paper :(

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

If Alcazar hasn't sorted you out already, you're looking for a "Technical Author".

You don't say what you're writing about but make sure you're covered from a legal perspective. A friend of mine nearly didn't publish a dive manual when they realised that they had to take out liability insurance. i.e. if someone follows your instructions and gets hurt, they could sue you.....

Hello

That is what I used to do for a living -- write "worked examples", training courses and technical manuals for computer products.

If you want any help, let me know.

Steve.
