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 have a book with some good tips in it. It was offered at a tech
writing seminar I attended. "Writing Effective Policies and Procedrues,
A Step-by-Step Resource for Clear Communication" by Nancy J. Campbell.
Published by AMACOM, a division of American Management Association, 1601
Broadway, New York, NY 10019. ISBN 0-8144-7960-X. Each chapter includes
a set of "tools"--checklists, sample forms, etc., which may be helpful
to you.
