Intercom Volume 64.4 offers a mixture of features and columns on writing and editing, tools, and career advice that show the diversity of technical communication work.
Two authors—Jessica McCaughey and Francis Bao—have written articles on improving writing when working with multilingual authors or when writing for translation. Girish Hasabnis provides techniques for technical writers to use to explain complex concepts more easily.
Do you use MacCap tools? Jayna Locke has written a personal summary of the MadWorld 2017 conference. Do you think technical communication isn’t sexy? Susan Haine uses seven career personas to show how technical communication is, in fact, sexy.
Two columns published in the issue—All Access and Ethics—address 1) being part of the solution through accessibility, and 2) agency in visual risk communication. And STC Summit attendee, Elizabeth Alley, shares her Off Hours artistic skill of note-sketching. You can see more of her work on STC’s Notebook blog, https://www.stc.org/notebook/.
