Scriptorium Publishing spreads throughout
the known world
|
|
Well, maybe just to Idaho. But we're proud
of expanding into our first office outside North Carolina. Bill
Burns heads Scriptorium Publishing's new Northwest
office in Boise, Idaho. Sarah O'Keefe, president, explains the
choice: "Our client base has grown across the country, so we were
looking for somewhere to open our first satellite office. Boise is
a bit like RTP because it has quite a few large technology companies,
plus many start-ups. And we were fortunate to recruit Bill, who has
lived and worked in the area for years."
Bill will conduct some of Scriptorium Publishing's training, plus
work with clients in the western half of the country. Contact Bill
by email at sales@scriptorium.com
or by phone at 208-484-4459.

Technical Writing 101 book coming soon!
|

We don't mean to brag (yeah, right), but we're about to release
a new book through our new imprint, Scriptorium Press. Technical
Writing 101: A Real-World Guide to Planning and Writing Technical
Documentation is a reference book for new tech writers. It's
written by Sarah O'Keefe and Alan Pringle--with lots of help from
other Scriptorium Publishing staffers.
The 250-page book won't be available for about another month, but
you can preorder it now. It costs $34.95, and shipping (via Priority
Mail) is free in the United States. Place your order through our
online book purchasing form, and
we'll ship your order as soon as the books come off the press. Order
10 or more copies, and you get a 5 percent discount.
Stay tuned for more details about Technical Writing 101
and Scriptorium Press. For more information, contact us at books@scriptorium.com.

It's back-to-school time! (Where's my protractor?)

We created the course FrameMaker
Proficiency in a Week in response to requests from our clients,
and it's already one of our most popular classes. Not for the faint-hearted,
this intense five-day class combines everything from both Accelerated
Introduction to FrameMaker and Advanced
FrameMaker. It's the perfect program if you can attend only
one course in a year. August's class is closed, and we're taking
registrations for October 16-20. Register by September 25 to get
the early registration discount price of $1175.
Who knew that week-long classes could be so popular? Our other
five-day course, Technical
Writing 101, has gotten rave reviews. A student in our June
class recently wrote to us saying, "I really enjoyed the class.
I have found it recently quite helpful in organizing my thoughts
and paring down my language. Though the project I'm working on is
only half done, I know I will generate a much more usable book."
The next class is scheduled for September 18-22. Be sure to register
by August 28 to get the early registration discount price of $1000.
Students pay $700.
Our next introductory WebWorks
Publisher class is September 28-29. For a comprehensive mastery
of macros and regular expressions, take Advanced
WebWorks Publisher on October 4-5. Register early and pay $850
for the introductory course and $950 for the advanced course. If
you're looking for a straightforward assessment of both the costs
and benefits of single sourcing, sign up for the Single
Sourcing Overview seminar on September 15. Early registration
cost is $250. To register for courses, go to our registration
page. For additional information, contact training@scriptorium.com.
