You know of all those instruction manuals you get with things you buy or the manual that comes with the car? That is technical writing. It is an in-depth, non-fictional type of writing that converts technical lingo into common language that people understand. Technical writers usually have some sort of degree or lots of years of experience in their field. It is far different than just article writing or writing for content mills. They also get paid higher depending on their field.
