Overview of the webinar

Technical writing in the Pharmaceutical Industry is a highly specialized field. Technical writing differs from general correspondence in that it is written for a specific audience. Technical writing is a balancing act between being precise enough to cover the subject matter yet general enough to apply to other situations and/or projects. Technical writing often consists of SOPs and reports but may apply to any documentation written for a restricted group. Technical writing always involves reviewers.
