TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you saw a workshop targeted toward professional, experienced tech
writers that promised a writing skills "tuneup," would you be
interested? If so, what topics would you want to cover? For example, are
there grammatical issues you wouldn't mind hammering out? Would you
like ideas on how to organize and consolidate information? (I don't
think I could bring myself to use the term "chunking" in relation to my
work, but maybe I'm alone in that.) Other issues altogether?
Let's assume this workshop was both reputable and free-- what would you
like to see in it?
Have you ever taken a workshop or course that drastically improved your
professional writing style?
Feel free to respond on-list or off, and thanks in advance for any
feedback.
Best,
Amy Lodato
