The American Copy Editors Society (ACES) is the United States’ leading organization of editing professionals, educators, and students.

Technical editing, regardless of how the discipline is defined, is first and foremost reader advocacy – be it for documentation clarity, accuracy, relevance, or accessibility.
Corrigo is the official publication of the STC Technical Editing SIG, and is a place where people who want to help readers can get useful information to do just that.
We think that Corrigo should only present information that focuses on technical editing, rather than on generic technical communication. To help us better focus our efforts, we’re turning to you to help us define the scope and direction of Corrigo.
Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedules and answer a small, anonymous questionnaire (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZT79YTQ).
(And if you havn’t done it yet, subscribe to Corrigo and get an email notification every time new content is posted! Just type your email address in the SUBSCRIBE TO CORRIGO VIA EMAIL section on the right side of this page.)
Your opinions are very important to us, and we appreciate your contribution.
