Re: White Paper Editing & Standards Setting

Kimberly:
   
  I'm not in a position to respond directly to your questions, because I'm no longer employed as a technical writer by a "real" company (other than Major-Ideas, my own little writing shop). But I'm getting familiar with business white papers, because I hope to start writing them for real companies as a freelancer.
   
  There's lots of information and a forum about writing and using white papers at Michael Stelzner's site www.whitepapersource.com. I think it might be helpful to you.
   
  Good luck,

white papers written by the executives? Wish you 
could be, but aren't included? Have found it 
doesn't work somehow (politically!!)? What is your 
relationship with marketing? How have the 
standards you set for your own docs been 
disseminated and implemented in other written 
materials? How much of a stickler are you?
   
  Thanks, Kimberly ]]
