Complimentary Access to TC’s November 2021 Special Issue: The Work of Storytelling in Technical Communication

In their call for papers for the November 2021 special issue, “The Work of Storytelling in Technical Communication,” guest editors Kyle P. Vealey and Jeffrey M. Gerding wrote, “Stories and storytelling are, and always have been, at the heart of TC. With its emphasis on characters, settings, descriptive language, metaphor, and narrative structure, stories are arguably one of the most effective ways of communicating complex technical and scientific information to a diverse audience of non-experts.”

Because of the importance of storytelling in our practice, research, and teaching, the Society for Technical Communication (STC) is pleased to make the November 2021 special issue, “The Work of Storytelling in Technical Communication,” available as a complimentary issue to all who request it. We extend our appreciation to the guest editors, Kyle P. Vealey and Jeffrey M. Gerding, the authors, the many reviewers, and the artists for their contributions to this important issue.
