Call for proposals for articles for the book:
Technical Communication in the Global Environment:
Issues for the Workplace and the University
You are invited to propose articles for a new anthology on international
aspects of technical communications. We are interested in proposals in the
area "Technical Writing in the International Environment."
The job of technical communicator has changed over the last few years as
commerce has internationalized. What new skills are needed? What kinds of
new documents are we seeing? What are the issues facing technical
communicators involved in localization and translation? We are interested
in articles from technical communicators who work in the international
environment. The intended audience for this book will be university
professors who want to know about the changes brought on by the
increasingly global nature of technical communications work. They would
like to better prepare their students for that environment.
We are especially interested in articles examining writing for Europe,
Africa and the Pacific Rim, although we certainly are open to articles
regarding the western hemisphere as well.
Please send a 200 word proposal now. Articles will be due August 1, 2000
