Writing Principles

Introduction

The Writing Factory (TWF) knows that poorly written procedures reduces your employee's effectiveness, efficiency and productivity. This lack of productivity leads to increased hidden costs.

Quality writing is always worth the price.

Structured Approach

TWF partners with you in developing a solution unique to your requirements. Our proven, structured approach provides project focus and direction. By concentrating on your greatest documentation need first, you realize a faster return on your documentation investment.

Quality Writing

TWF's senior Technical Writers spend less time producing superior quality content. Everyone in business writes, but not everyone writes well. Our Writers know how to create reader-centered content that is easy to read and understand the first time.

Plain Language

Plain language is clear, concise writing that focuses on the audience. What is "plain" to one reader may be confusing to another. The legal profession is an excellent example. TWF promotes the principles of plain language because clear communication always works.

Single Sourcing

Rather than write multiple documents for multiple audiences, TWF recommends authoring content to meet the reader's information needs. That content is then stored and accessed based on the reader's needs.

Best Practices

TWF recommends implementing a comprehensive set of writing best practices to ensure consistently, high-quality writing throughout the organization, whether that be across the office or around the globe. Utilizing a thorough set of document meta-data standards in the document creation process, ensures content will be easy to track, search and locate. If you do not have one, TWF will develop a corporate Writing Style Guide. The Guide provides a consistent bench mark for all writing resources within your organization.
