Hire the Best User's Guide Writers
in Australia

Good documentation leaves your team with more time, not less. When users can find answers themselves, everyone wins. Like this: "Got great feedback on the knowledge base and tutorial videos, Gail from [COMPANY] doesn't even want training... Nice work on all the documentation thus far, Ned" Riley L. Head of Implementation @ Zudello I'm a technical writer with 4 years of software experience. I've built a 150+ article knowledge base from scratch, created onboarding materials that replaced most user training, and worked across sales, support, and implementation. I understand what documentation needs to do because I've been the person using it. What I offer: - Building knowledge bases, help centres, and user guides from the ground up (GitBook, Docusaurus, Zendesk, Confluence, and more) - Auditing and improving existing documentation for clarity, accuracy, and consistency - Writing customer-facing guides, internal documentation, release notes, API docs, and more - Creating sales materials and product data sheets that translate technical specs into business value Whether you need someone to create a documentation strategy, or just get in and write some content, I can help. Let's talk.

Hi folks! My background is in coding, but my passion is writing. I have wide experience over the IT and marketing industries, in Australia, the UK, and US. If you're looking for technical but approachable articles, or documentation that's written simply and clearly, you're on the right freelancer profile. I spent over a decade working full-time as a technical writer. Then I turned to freelancing, and branched out into content creation and marketing. This gave me a breadth of experience that you don't often see, and it enables me to bring extra nerdiness to copywriting or pull some customer-focused plain speaking into a company's technical knowledge base. If you need some case studies written - especially if they're centred around tech - this is an area in which I shine. I've put together case studies and white papers for Citrix and Microsoft solutions, among others. I've worked on a number of cloud solutions (SaaS, IaaS, etc), and can find my way around almost any application. While I'm great at producing standard user guides and the like, I also have a creative side. If you're struggling to engage your users in novel ways, I can help. Editing is another strength of mine. I've worked with companies like Springer Nature and Microsoft to sub-edit or copy-edit scientific articles and studies. Just tell me which style guide you need me to work with, and what depth of editing you need. Lastly, I also write and edit fiction! So if you need anything from a short story to a novel written, hit me up.
