Technical Writer or Technical Copywriter? What's the Difference?

"Technical writer" is an easy-to-remember term that many people apply to anyone who writes about technology topics.

Among writers however, "technical writer" has a specific definition, with experience and skills that typically aren't suited to sales materials, PR projects, and other marketing communications.
