Are you considering working as a freelance technical writer and have questions?
In the session, we will hear from three panelists why they choose to work as a technical writer in a permanent employee role or as an independent contractor and what they see as some of the benefits and any challenges/drawbacks of that employment option.

We also have a Chartered Professional Accountant who will join us to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the two employment options from an accounting and tax perspective. 

Webinar: Talk to Technical Writers

This webinar walks you through a case study, where a small group of technical communicators were asked to reorganize over 1,200 internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and to learn a new system, which led to providing a data-driven model of the results of their work and a plan for continuous improvement.

Using out-of-the-box Microsoft SharePoint to connect libraries and lists to the Power Bi visualization platform may have resulted in a disaster due to lack of knowledge, instead this became an effective methodology for showcasing results and for cataloging, publishing, and archiving SOPs.

Objectives at a high level for this webinar include:

Defining the project scope
Building a supportive platform
Retracing goal(s) with data visualization
Attendees will walk away knowing how:

They can use tools like those we used to present their work as valuable to their leadership.
Using tools as we did can provide leaders with better decision-making, relative to how a Technical Writing team can contribute to the bottom line.
Technical Writing teams might incorporate into their work habits, ways of analyzing data (content) and begin to think about documentation metrics based on what they write, manage, and deliver.
Technical Writers can increase their value by presenting—from a visual perspective—the data they catalog.

A Case Study: Applying Microsoft’s O365, SharePoint, and Power Platform Tools to Engage Decision Makers

A sample edit is a great opportunity to show off your editing prowess, professionalism, and personal connection to a potential project. But how can you really show your full range of skills within such a small space? And when are you giving away too much for free? In this presentation, Amber Helt will share with you how to approach the sample edit process for different editing services, then she’ll share with you tips and tricks to present your sample alongside your project quote in a proposal your client can’t refuse. There will be a period of questions at the end.

Amber Helt is the co-coordinator for the North Texas chapter of the EFA and the owner of the editorial agency Rooted in Writing. She’s helped hundreds of authors get their books into readers’ hands and has an 89% success rate for turning proposals into paid clients.

This Zoom event is open to any current and active EFA member.

How to Deliver Sample Edits and Proposals that WOW Your Clients

Developmental editors are all about the big picture. They assess how the manuscript hangs together as a whole, how the story moves and unfurls, and how the characters drive the story forward. They are solution finders who offer guidance, not critiques.

This five-week introductory course is meant for anyone who wants to help authors shape their stories, develop their storytelling grit, and conquer the boring in their manuscripts. It covers the basic knowledge every DE needs to know to work in the industry, including how to:

increase your knowledge of the craft of fiction
understand the big-picture developmental items to look for
write a DE outline of a manuscript
use the “feedback sandwich”
create a DE checklist
use a DE color-coding system
write diplomatic queries
be solution-focused (give guidance, not a critique)
write an editorial letter (sometimes called a revision letter)
Lessons include handouts, videos, links, and class discussion via a forum and a live Q&A session on Zoom. The lessons explain and illustrate concepts and offer more opportunities for you to practice what you’ve learned. Each module will introduce a DE tool and review one or more elements of fiction.

If you’ve always been curious about developmental editing and want to give it a try, or if you’d like to review the basic skills you need to succeed in this type of editing, register now! Class size is limited, as it includes plenty of one-on-one instructor feedback.

Week 1: We’ll discuss what developmental editing is and what it is not. Students will be introduced to the big-picture items involved in a developmental edit. In this week’s assignment, we’ll evaluate a short story and create an outline and developmental editing checklist.

Week 2: We’ll discuss the danger of scope creep and tips to prevent it. Students will focus on how to suggest structural changes. In this week’s assignment, we’ll practice writing effective and diplomatic queries for the short story from week one.

Week 3: We’ll discuss the author-editor relationship and how to nurture it. Students will then focus on how to edit for pacing and narrative movement. In this week’s assignment, we’ll evaluate a sample chapter and write an editorial letter to the author using the feedback sandwich.

Week 4: We’ll discuss character development and point of view. Students will be introduced to an editorial color-coding system and in-text comments. In this week’s assignment, we’ll evaluate a sample chapter with a focus on point of view, and we’ll make edits and queries using in-text edits, comments, and the Track Changes comment feature.

Week 5: We’ll discuss character development and the character arc with a focus on character agency. In the final assignment, students will bring everything together and prepare a developmental editing package (editorial letter, edits, and queries) for a short story.

Office Hours at the Ion

This event is geared towards Houston's Sustainability Professionals to connect with peers, share insights and dialogue on areas of interest.

About this event
The event will be located in the Investors Pub room of St. Arnold's Brewing Company. As you come through the St Arnold entrance, the Investors Pub is in the building to the right. The room is on the second floor of that building. Signage will be posted.

Summertime is here, and with the heat, we will find ourselves lounging by pools, enjoying cool glasses of water, and setting up sprinklers for our kids to run through. All thanks to our vital resource...water.

In this June event, we take a deeper dive into the topic of water. We will look into the impacts of climate change on our national and global water supply, including risks for drought and desertification, and what industry is doing and can do to reduce their water usage and secure water supply in their regions of operation.

We will be joined by Chad Unrau, COO of Magna Imperio Systems, who will share more about his company's water filtration technology which allows for recovery up to 98% of industrial water to be reused as clean drinking water. Their technology is deployed by companies across the US - including our very own St. Arnold's Brewery - to turn industrial waste water into purified water.

About this event
**There is no cost to attend this event.**

Statistics show that women will control 70% of all the money in the United States in the next 5-10 years.

Therefore, we have not only a right but a responsibility to educate ourselves on the basics of how money works! What better way to do that than with good food, wine, and a great group of like-minded women each month?

Wine, Women and Wealth is part networking, part financial education, and part girls night out. We are building a community of women who create a safe space to have insightful conversations regarding money, wealth, and different ways to better you and your family’s future. Whether you’re at the end of your rope or the top of the corporate ladder, there is always more to learn about how you can make your money work for you.

Wine, Women and Wealth occurs monthly and the financial education will facilitate different topics each month, so feel free to come back each time. We can’t wait to see you there!!!

***Please note, Wine, Women, & Wealth is exclusively for women and are offered in multiple locations across the country. We encourage you to bring business cards and attend a few in order to meet all of the amazing women in our community. Women are unstoppable when they actively work together to empower one another. Feel free to bring a friend or come and make some friends!!! Just let us know so we can plan food and wine samples accordingly.
