Calling Articles for the Bangalore Technical Writers Meetup

Folks:
Good news!

Come January 2010, Bangalore Technical Writers Meetup (http://techwriter.meetup.com/2/) is starting of with something special! We are going to bring you a surplus of articles in technical communication, usability and user experience design. No need of educating yourself as to who will be writing those articles. For this is where, YOU stand to grab a spotlight. The idea is to select an article every month and post it to the Bangalore TW Meetup as well as to the award-winning STC India' bi-monthly Ezine INDUS.

Do's and Don'ts
The word limit for articles is 600 to 1000 words. Do include your recent passport-sized scanned snapshot and a short bio about yourself, in around 40 words in the email. Do remember we will ONLY entertain articles, which are original and written by you. Stupid me, but if you are planning to copy or use someone' else works, please remember to get an acknowledgement from the respective authors. In no case, Bangalore TW Meetup will be responsible or liable for your content in the article. So, hopefully you will be original and allow us to read YOUR thoughts. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to see how your writing is judged and am sure, we all would love to read those valuable inputs and improve on our writing skills, for that is the ultimate objective.

Send me your articles on or before January 20, 2010.

How to submit?
Submit your article by email. My email ID is holypriest@ gmail.com. Our editors panel comprising of will be doing a more thorough edit of your work and will send you the red lined version for your article. You will then need to acknowledge the reviewer copy and send out your final draft. We will send you an email once your article gets posted to the Meetup site.

If you have any concerns or suggestions, appreciate if you write to me off-list. My email ID is holypriest at gmail dot com.

We look forward to hear from you.

Best wishes
Rajdeep
