Question:

Technical writting is genre?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Not sure what it is that you are asking, but I've been a technical writer. It is fact, not fiction. The stuff I wrote were mostly "how to" manuals, Instructions and procedures. Other types of tech writing are documenting such things as computer programs so that anyone who can read code can see what the program is meant to do. Some places want technical people doing the documentation, others would rather have people who can communicate with the readers. A brief study of each will definitely show you the difference. Pick up any instructional manual and you will be able to figure out who wrote it.
