Write and seek feedback!

Useful ways to get feedback:

Volunteer for writing projects that will be reviewed critically. Reviewers are often more attentive and critical when reviewing promotional content, rather than technical. However, for many products, promotional content needs to be technical. As a technical writer, you should know your company's products pretty well. By volunteering for projects that are traditionally considered "promotional", you can help ensure accuracy and clarity of promotional content, while opening yourself up to more and better feedback.
