Technical Copywriter Alan Sharpe

Your challenge in hiring a technical copywriter is finding a techie who can write or in finding a copywriter who is a techie. Not an easy task. I should know, because I’m a copywriter who has a penchant for all things technical.

I got started as a copywriter in 1990, working as a freelancer before being hired as senior copywriter at Hewson. Bridge and Smith, an advertising agency in Canada’s capital. All that I wrote was technical copy. My agency was a business-to-business advertising agency that worked almost exclusively with hi-tech firms in what was then known as Canada’s Technology Triangle. I learned the craft of writing technical copy in the trenches with some of Canada’s leading tech firms, including Cognos and Nortel. Since those pre-Internet days, I have written technical copy for hundreds of firms large and small.
