Worst Technical Writing Contest!

Does your company have poor documentation? Have you see horrendous documentation on the Web? Have you written bad documentation: user guides that don't guide, help files that don't help, and training materials that don't train? We have all seen documentation that does not add value to a product. Your examples of the worst technical writing you have ever seen will not only make us shake our heads and laugh but also gain your company discounted services from The Write Solution.

The Write Solution is currently accepting examples of the worst technical writing you or your company has ever seen or done. Examples may include user guides, help files, training materials, policies and procedures, or portions thereof.

Every individual or company that submits an entry into the contest will receive a 25% discount off the first 20 hours of purchased services from The Write Solution. At the end of the contest, we will award the winning entry 20 hours of free services.
