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.
Can anyone point me to some really good examples of minimalist writing,
either as is or "before" and "after" examples?
I'd really like to see examples of how other writers have achieved a
minimalist style.
This is in the spirit of John M. Carroll's work on minimalist
instruction.
By the way, I've seen enough of the research -- I'm currently looking
for empirical examples. Especially in the last ten years, but if older,
I'd still love to take a look.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
