Writing
What we do and how we work
Put our Experienced writers to work for you.
Experience
The typical writer at Excelon has over ten years of experience as a technical contributor, and is either currently doing the work or consulting on it for a living. That means no buzzword bingo, no vague, hand-waving oversimplifications, just deep insight, analysis, and advice on software delivery.
Delivery
Freelancers get sick. They also have off days and a day-job to please. Excelon is a full publishing house, providing the account management, copy-editing, and backfill work so you don’t have to scramble when the inevitable happens.
Support
Our expertise includes social media, search engine optimization, content strategy, training videos and promotions. We provide lightweight advice in these areas for active customers. So come to Excelon for the writing, but stay for the whole package.
Technical Expertise. Clear Writing. Delivered.
From individual articles to campaigns and ongoing content work, Excelon has got you covered. Our authors can write, interview, ghost-write, and create content from podcasts to videos. Excelon will even provide the project management and editing to keep things on-track – all for about the cost of a typical freelance writer.
The writers we partner with belong to our software development and technical journalism communities. We know them, and provide them some career lift while training them in how to write powerful, relevant, persuasive copy that the core audience will want to read.
