A continuous process, not a single accomplishment
Presentation Abstract
Behind all good content is a solid development process. Good writing starts well before the proverbial pen meets paper and continues long after the initial content is approved and released. Yet in today’s fast-paced development environments, we too often abandon or shortcut key steps to writing well: audience analysis, planning, editing, and evaluation. In this presentation, Dawn reviews the importance of these development phases and suggests ways to incorporate them back into a streamlined workflow.
