2011 Intercom Editorial Calendar
I am pleased to announce the Intercom Editorial Calendar for 2011. The editorial calendar is a product of brainstorming sessions about what content STC should publish in its magazine and what the trending or “hot” topics are in the field. It is used to provide submission deadlines and guidance to potential authors and to ensure that content is of interest to readers and advertisers.
The 2011 themes were chosen via a collaborative process—as the editor, I always draw on my own knowledge and experience as a technical communicator and PhD student, but I also value the advice and feedback I solicit and receive from the Editorial Advisory Panel members and STC members at large. Altogether, we have comprised a collection of well over 100 potential topics for coverage in Intercom. And I’m sure there are many more out there.
The editorial calendar should also be used as a general subject guide for Intercom feature articles and columns. As always, I encourage all readers and members to consider submitting to Intercom (on these topics or any others you find relevant) and to continue providing me with feedback on the topics we are (or should be) covering in the coming year. Guidelines for submission are online at http://intercom.stc.org/write-for-intercom/. I look forward to hearing more from you.
