UK Technical Writing Educator Needed for BBC interview

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

karen schriver

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle
