As the official publication of the STC Technical Editing SIG, Corrigo is full of useful information for technical editing practitioners.
One of the great things about having a community of like-minded professionals is that there might be someone here dealing with technical editing issues that might be quite similar to yours – using tools and process that might help you as well!
To help you see what your colleagues are doing to help them do their jobs better, we are introducing a new feature – This Worked for Me!
This new feature will provide real examples of tools and processes that real people doing real technical editing in the field use to solve real issues and improve the quality of the content that they edit.
Basically, the authors of these articles will say “here’s a great thing that I use, maybe you’ll find it useful as well!”
We will try to make sure that the articles in this feature are not simply advertisements for tools – we aren’t interested in what the tool does, we want to know what we can do with the tool.
To make it easier for you to find these articles again in the future, they will be tagged with a This Worked for Me tag, and the titles prefaced with the same phrase.
If you’d like to submit a story about a tool or process you’ve personally used to improve the quality of your technical editing or make your professional life easier, please send an email to editor@stc-techedit.org and tell us about it.
