For The Press

STC is a professional association that advances the arts and sciences of technical communication.

Its members include technical writers, editors, graphic designers, multimedia artists, web and intranet page information designers, translators, and others whose work involves making technical information understandable and available to those who need it.

The STC office website has several areas of interest for those who want background information on the Society. These include the following:

• Press-related FAQs. Questions that reporters most often ask the STC office.
• About STC. This includes the history and the mission of the Society, along with some general background information.
• Salary Database. This answers the question "What do technical writers/editors earn in the U.S. and Canada?" The survey results are posted in PDF format. Available to STC members only.
• You Want to Be a Technical What? What do you say when someone asks you, "How do I become a technical writer?" Jane A. Hammack has written an approach that you might find useful.
