Make a diary note to keep things clear on Thursday 13 October — it’s International Plain Language Day.
The day marks the first anniversary of the US Plain Writing Act. It’s being celebrated globally, on the net and on the streets.
At Write Limited’s Wellington office, come and hear about literacy and editing in the future, when the printed page has been left behind by technology.
Judy Knighton, one of Write’s plain English specialists, will deliver the presentation she recently gave to editors in Australia.
What’s the role for editors now that literacy means reading a phone, sending a tweet, and downloading a podcast? Will editors have a place as new technologies multiply?
TCANZ — the Technical Communicators Association of New Zealand — is hosting the event.
