On February 5, 2008, Stanford L&D is presenting a one-day Technical Writing class for Stanford staff taught by Jim Vincler of Vincler Communications. There is no cost for SU staff to take this course.

Now is your chance to learn how to write a clear, concise, coherent technical document that gets the results you want.

Since 1977, Jim has been working with engineers and scientists to help them replace the coma-inducing technical writing that put the sandman out of business.

Thousands of technical writers in Silcon Valley and beyond have benefited from his training.

In this class, you will learn a logical approach to technical writing that will bring out your natural writing talents.

You will learn how to:

- Use a field-tested approach to plan a successful writing project
- Overcome procrastination and writer?s block
- Troubleshoot common writing problems
- Prepare user-friendly manuals
- Format your documents for easy reading
