Developing Quality Technical Information

The book presents a much needed approach to quality technical communication and a working plan for achieving quality. The examples are excellent and are easy to use and adapt. The editorial advice is simple and clear enough for tech writers who did not major in English or journalism. It is most worthy of a text in university programs, but it is more valuable to experienced writers, editors and managers concerned with raising the quality of their publications. The main difference between this and other books is that in each of the first nine chapters, one quality characteristic is presented that you can apply to your writing project to make technical information easy to use, easy to understand and easy to find. There are checklists at the end of each chapter for review and a Quality checklist in the appendix covering all of the characteristics. The book shows original text and revision text so that you can actually browse the book and see the differences applied. This is another excellent feature that should catch a purchaser's eye.

How to Write the Feel-Good Book of the Year - Advice for Fiction Writers eBook

Every author wants their readers to like the books they write. However, in my experience as both an author and a publisher, only in a couple of cases have my authors or I taken the time to assess whether our books 'feel good' to read. The books we publish are informative, entertaining and helpful, but I wanted to know if they felt good to read. Many movie reviews will announce, "That movie is the 'the feel-good' movie of the year!" What does 'feel good' actually mean and how do you produce it deliberately? Is 'feel good' just one of those intangible qualities that only some creative properties are lucky enough to have? After publishing 200 books and reviewing countless others, I decided to revamp my existing fiction novel in a very interesting fashion. The resulting book told the exact same story, but the readers' reactions to it were dramatically different. Everyone called it a 'feel-good' book. "How to Write the Feel-Good Book of the Year - advice for Fiction writers" tells what I learned about the English language during the exercise of completely re-writing my book. Rewriting the...
