Technical writing vs other classifications of writing

According to Ellis, Gail. (2017) Technical writing is used to Communicate about a particular subject that
needs instruction, direction or explanation. It has to be concise clear and understandable. The product
should be straightforward and skimmable.

Technical writing is a kind of writing where the author discusses a specific topic that calls for guidance,
instruction, or explanation. Compared to other writing genres like creative writing, academic writing, or
business writing, this style has a radically distinct goal and set of traits.

Message/goals

 While other styles of writing aim to entertain, inspire thinking, motivate, educate (in a more
general sense, rather than a practical one like "To save a copy of your file, do the following"),
and so on, technical writing's most typical goal is to explain how a product works to its
consumers.
 Technical writing is intended for a particular audience who reads it to comprehend a subject,
use a product, or carry out a task. They should be informed, instructed, and educated by the
document. The users' desired knowledge, theories, facts, and specifics should be included.

Medium/format

 Technical writing can therefore cover a subject using a range of media, including printed user
guides, built-in help (for example, tool tips), internet help (for example, wikis), and more.

 While other forms of writing, like plays, books, or screenplays, may employ several formats,
there is typically only one type of format or medium for each distinct genre of writing.

 Users read a material with the intent to learn, comprehend, carry out specific duties, and reach
specific choices. They read the writing and use it. As a result, you should be aware of your
audience and make an effort to fulfill their needs. Instead of writing what you want or think
they should know, write what they need to know and what they want to know.
