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.
I would refer Sue to How to Write Usable User Documentation by Edmond H. Weiss,
Orys Press, 1991. He explains how to write documents for the novice user and
how to lay them out in 2-page spreads. Very enlightening!
