Technical and academic writing concurrently necessitate a direct approach for the conveyance of information to a specific type of audience. Being that I majored in English spending five years at University, I, of course, possess the skills to produce a well-written body of work. However, it takes more than owning writing skills to yield an effective technical or academic piece of writing that makes your point known in a very communicative, explanatory way so the core of your message connects with the audience. Educating a target audience is the goal of these types of writing assignments, and it is a fact that I never overlook. Coming from an academic background with a stern focus on arts and sciences, I understand that there is a substantial importance surrounding thorough, accurate research. This background research is the footwork that provides a sturdy base for which to construct a technical or academic piece of writing.
