As the official publication of the STC Technical Editing SIG, Corrigo is full of useful information for technical editing practitioners.

But nothing can beat the experience of a live interaction, when like-minded technical editing practitioners get together to discuss ideas that lead to further professional development.

Events of interest to technical editing practitioners happen frequently (both face-to-face and online) and all over the world. And even if you couldn’t make it to one of them, someone who did can write a summary of what they learned and share it with the wider technical editing community.

To make sure that information about events of interest (both past and future) reaches people who want to know more, we are introducing a new feature – Of Interest!

Have you been to a presentation, webinar, or conference and learned something that you think needs to be brought to the attention of Corrigo’s readers? Do you know of a get-together, meetup, or talk that you think Corrigo‘s readers might want to attend? If so, write a summary of the event, send it to us at editor@stc-techedit.org, and we’ll consider adding it to our Of Interest feature.

To make it easier for you to find these articles again in the future, they will be tagged with an Of Interest tag, and the titles prefaced with the same phrase.

Judicious Editing— July 24-25, 2018

On the heels of the IDEAS Winter 2018 conference, Writing Well, comes Judicious Editing, the IDEAS Summer 2018 conference. It doesn’t matter how good your writing skills are, you can always benefit from another set of eyes. Whether performed by a peer, a professional, or you yourself, editing is a critical phase of the publication process. It helps to validate accuracy, confirm readability, improve usability, and enforce conformance to corporate standards. Nevertheless, the review and approval phases of a project are often compromised as we struggle with differing opinions, changing feedback, and condensed timelines.

What can you do to make the editing and review process as painless as possible? What should editors be looking for and what can writers do to better prepare their content for editing in the first place? What role do automated quality checkers serve in the process? What do you do when reviewers disagree? Join us for the answers to these questions and more!
