Technical Writing, Design & Publishing

“I provide technical writing and formatting services to support your technical documentation team. I write, edit and structure technical content for organizations who need to persuade—not just describe—their business.

“I fit into your existing processes – from “whole lot of words” stage, right through to publication and distribution in accessible, affordable formats.

“I convert AI into human. I make content easy to read using strategically-aligned stylesheet templates, appropriate typefaces, images, summaries, colours, flowcharts and tables of contents.

“I have 20 years’ experience working on research, reports and bid proposals in highly-regulated industries like healthcare, engineering, construction and the public sector.”

Dianne B Volek – Technical Writer

Team Collaboration

If you’re a communications strategist, editor, or proposal manager, here’s how I can support your team:

  • Design, structure and formatting of technical documents so they are easy to read and evaluate.
  • Word templating, multilevel numbering, TOCs, styles, formatting—finicky details no one likes doing.
  • Diagrams, tables, and infographics that clarify complex content and align with your brand.
  • Ensuring compliance with client style guides and strict bid requirements.
  • Sanity checks: confirming all legal and regulatory requirements are met.
  • Creating print-ready outputs that are accurate, consistent, and elegant.
  • Preparing textbooks or research publications for print-on-demand via Amazon or IngramSpark.

Expertise in Bids, Tenders and RFPs

I know how to hit every checkbox, format requirement, and submission rule – on time.

  • I structure and suggest content for RFPs/RFQs, so it’s easy for your team to identify the right vendor (and harder for vendors to mislead or evade using AI). 
  • I create proposals that meet complex requirements, and use persuasive, plain-English content tailored to decision-makers and evaluators.
  • I’ve worked on public tenders, engineering and technology bids, research and charitable grants and environmental compliance reporting.

Access to a trusted network

Need more than just me?

I collaborate with trusted professionals in technical editing, graphic design, typesetting, video scripting and production, plain English accessibility audits, proofreading and more.

I can help you pull together a team for your project, or I can fit in as a reliable extra pair of hands.

This is exactly how I improve technical documentation

Communication Design and Formatting

  • Easy-to-navigate templates in Word and PowerPoint.
  • Headers, footers, sections, styles, and TOCs.
  • Standardize fonts, headers, captions, figures and numbering.
  • Convert dense text into engaging visuals: diagrams, graphs, charts.
  • Create figures, diagrams, and charts using built-in MS Office tools, or pre-programmed QuickParts.
  • Clickable checklists (Word), fillable forms (PDF)
  • Layouts that are easy to scan with pop-open sections, blockquotes and sidebars.
  • Full alignment with your house style or brand guidelines.

Technical Writing 

  • Compelling executive summaries.
  • Merge inputs from multiple contributors.
  • Simplify content into clear, plain English (Grade 6 reading level).
  • Cut word count without losing substance.
  • Get rid of jargon and ambiguities, and monitor for AI as well as inclusive, respectful language.

Technical Publishing: print, eBook, and online 

I work with research, guides, manuals, SOPs, policies, training, and technical content. 

  • Print-on-Demand (Paperback or Hardcover) with Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or private printers. Documentation delivered door-to-door anywhere in the world.
  • eBook formats suitable for tablets, phones, and eReaders. Private distribution, or distributed via “user-pays” public book stores.
  • Technical Websites: private member document portal or public learning hub.

Whether you’re preparing a government tender or translating complex research into public-friendly info, I help teams produce documents that are accurate, compliant, easy to update and a pleasure to read.
