Production Writer - need an idea of what this is?

Question

I'm looking into a "Production Writer" job at an advertising company. Any idea of what this might be? I have a background in film (which has a writing aspect to it). From the job description I get a lot of liaisons with different departments of the company and some with the client. But still not entirely sure of what this is

Answer 1

ok, i'm not sure myself, but probably along the lines of a staff writer, you all work together to write a script/screen play for advertising??  But here'a a question for YOU...  I'm looking to sell a true story I have to someone for a book deal or movie/documentary, where would i turn??  It's all true with lots of stuff to back up the story, no fluff here.  i have to be careful so I don't get screwed b/c this is a great story - it spans over multiple continents thru 35+ years etc... any ideas b4 i post a general question?? you sound like someone who might know...

Answer 2

Technical and.or production writers are usually writing in an industrial and/or business capacity.  Document writing, manual writing, help guides, standard operating procedures.  The job is to write technical content in a way that is clear and precise, and that the average user/employee (or whoever the audience is) can understand.  (also known as subject matter experts)

Good luck.
