atw: STC cracks a mention on Your ABC

The ABC Radio National Book Show on Friday morning was a discussion on the subject of "The art of writing the government report".
One of the guests was Dr Janet Salisbury, director of Biotext, a Canberra-based science information consultancy. She was described as "the technical writer and editor for many an official tome, including the very important Lockhart Review on Therapeutic Cloning Bill."
Janet mentions winning a Distinguished award in the STC Australia Publications competition and an Excellence award in the international competition. She also mentions a specific comment from one of the local judges.
It's an interesting talk on a potentially dry topic. As the title suggests, it's mostly about government report writing, but there's much that will be familiar to us toilers in the fields of technical writing. You can get the podcast from here:
