Technical Copywriting
Press releases, technical articles, white papers and expert comment, written by a time-served toolmaker who edits a leading manufacturing title.
Correct comes before clever
An engineer will forgive a plain sentence. They will not forgive technical data in the wrong units, a tool life claim with no supporting evidence, or text written by someone who does not know the difference between an end mill and a windmill.
The moment that happens you have lost the reader, the editor holding the page, and a slice of your credibility.
Written by an engineer, not translated by a writer
Most technical content is someone turning an engineer’s notes into marketing buzzwords and hoping nothing gets lost. After three rounds of corrections the figures are still in the wrong place, and when you finally sign off you know it will not land.
Rhys Williams served his time as a toolmaker and machinist before he wrote for a living. The toolmaker gets the detail right. The editor knows what a trade title will actually publish.
