The Importance of Professional Writers and Record Keepers

1. The Role of Professional Writers

On a fundamental level, professional writers can help organizations communicate clearly and effectively. They can help clarify the ideas and messages that a business owner wants to express, potentially saving much time and frustration. This alone can be invaluable. When working with technical or complex material, a writer can help translate jargon and make the information accessible to a wider audience. Professional writers have a knack for making the complex simple and the simple compelling. This too is an important skill. Professional writers also bring an objective point of view to their work. When the author knows what he or she wants to say, it’s easy to not see the gaps in the material as it makes perfect sense in his or her own head. It can be helpful to have someone ask the clarifying questions that make the author realize those gaps are there. A professional writer can also call it how they see it. If someone’s message is unclear or his or her writing is subpar, the writer can provide some tough love and concrete criticism, which is almost always a good thing in the long run.

2. The Role of Record Keepers

These writings can be of various measures of importance depending on the occurrence that was described, but often the ‘irrelevant’ is only realized in future when someone is trying to research a topic and finds that the report concerning it is gone, or as is often the case, not least wealthy compared to the actual occurrence. One must keep nothing a record keep in the mind that things in the past of no matter are only held in memory and the memory of man is a quite fragile and ever changing thing. An occurrence which one regards as ‘something everyone in the office knows about’ may only be known in part or forgotten as time goes by. An internationally important event is often not well documented in history because the record keeping was poorly done. This is why there are history departments in many universities dedicated to oral or written traditions of history in various cultures round the world. All are far too often called to small success.

The double-minded attitude towards record keepers and their writing often results in the employment of lesser characters compared to their after. Too often, in the two people that you might know, the record keeper is regarded as a necessary nuisance not unlike a cold. People essential to their true findings of an occurrence at work they hold something in their hand to show of it after, and the verily thing that they hold is their reports, records, and writings.

3. Benefits of Hiring Professional Writers and Record Keepers

Professional record keepers help organize and articulate the thoughts and plans of a company into written words. If record keeping is done in-house but by employees who are not skilled at writing and organization, it is possible that the material will be inconsistent and unclear and could sometimes do more harm than good. Plan and policy documents written by a highly skilled professional, however, will be a comprehensive and crystal-clear statement of the respective issues. Professional writers are capable of asking the right questions to get the necessary information from an expert and can then turn this information into a clear and informative document. This sort of document is far less likely to cause confusion or mistakes and will be a valuable tool for banking knowledge and educating new employees.

A professional writer will create written material. This material serves as an indication of the company’s goal, standards, and direction. If the company finds itself in a legal battle, written material can be submitted as evidence. For instance, if an unhappy employee decides to file a wrongful termination suit, the company will have a far better chance of winning the case if it has a policy of severance pay and can produce the written policy. The employee can be terminated for any legal reason and will receive the agreed-on number of weeks of pay, being an example. But having a policy is no defense in a case like this; it’s possible the company may still lose the case if the policy is not written down and if the employee was not aware of it. Lawsuits, especially in the United States, are a very real and very costly risk that must be planned for by small and large companies.

4. Challenges Faced by Professional Writers and Record Keepers

Challenges in getting side work: A freelance writer may, at least initially, find it challenging to get side work to supplement their income. Often, freelance work can be sporadic, and a writer may find that they are not earning enough from their freelance work alone. The idea of supplementing income may lead a writer to consider writing for a content mill or a service that employs freelance writers to write articles on behalf of clients. However, this can be a further challenge. Many content mill jobs have extremely low pay, and often the working conditions are poor, with demanding quotas or deadlines and little support. Because content mill jobs can be less selective than other types of freelance writing work, it is possible to write for a content mill and yet continue to seek more rewarding work. However, it is a tenuous strategy, and writers can find themselves trapped in low-paying, low-satisfaction work. Taking the time to seek higher-paying freelance work that does not compromise the integrity of the writer can be the better strategy. Yet, it can be difficult to get a good-paying job without the support of a higher-paying job. Faced with these challenges, many writers really need to get a job. However, having a job can make it difficult to find the time and energy to seek better writing work. Overall, the issue of getting side work and seeking to do only fulfilling and financially rewarding freelance writing can be a difficult task for writers.

Finding challenges that writers face while getting work is not easy, but after taking various views from five different writers and conducting extensive research, I have identified some of the most common yet difficult-to-address job seeking challenges for aspiring and established writers. This information might help them in the best possible way.

5. Conclusion: The Value of Professional Writers and Record Keepers

The value of professional writers in ancient Israel was so great that they were often associated with the wisdom of God. Pritchard writes that the Hebrew word for scribe, “sopher,” is almost synonymous with “wise man.” Both a comparison of Proverbs 25:1 with I Chronicles 29:29 and the distinction between the prophets Nathan and Gad in II Sam. 24:11 indicate that there may have been an early division owing to a marked increase in the amount of court and historical record keeping. Professional writing was generally associated with administration. During the times of the United and Divided Kingdoms, the prophets began to realize the benefits of their oral prophecies being put in written form. By the end of the Divided Monarchy, royal chroniclers were recording the significant events of their respective kingdoms. Unfortunately, we have very few of these historical records. Writing became a profession in the post-exilic period when society was becoming increasingly complex and the maintenance of law and theological custom demanded an intellectual class learned in the wisdom of previous generations. Scribes became the professional interpreters of Mosaic law and were thus sometimes in opposition to the accompanying class of oral law experts, the Pharisees. Establishing a legal tradition, a professional scribe to add to the Bible was Samuel the son of Sirach who wrote Ecclesiasticus.
