October 5 Meeting: Success and the Solo Single-Sourcerer

***Meeting is on the FIRST Thursday of the month

Experienced technical communicator and award-winning Managing Editor of
the Technically Write e-newsletter, Douglas Dow will present "Success and
the Solo Single-Sourcerer" at the STC Lone Star Community meeting on
Thursday, Oct. 5, 2006, at the Crowne Plaza North Dallas/Addison Hotel.

"Success and the Solo Single-Sourcerer" offers practical tips, identifies
stumbling blocks, and presents potential, real-world solutions for those
with large workloads, small budgets, and no additional resources. Normally
associated with large companies and enormous budgets, single-sourcing is
gaining as an approach to be used by small departments—even those staffed
by a lone writer. Doug will show how a single-sourcing solution more than
doubles his productivity, in spite of resource challenges and enormous
workloads.
