TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Don't sweat it, Sean. As someone who knows what you got dinged for, has
seen your published output, and does the same exact thing (minus the
hard covers), I can honestly say that the people who judged your entry
didn't know what they were talking about. The point of getting an award
is moot, but the comments, well, they clearly indicate a complete lack
of understanding on part of your local STC judges of how monochrome
press (and single-sourcing) works.
