Our Publishing Mission
We achieve high reader comprehension and reading speed through careful outlining, clear and simple writing, as well as attention to details. We write in technical English as defined in the Federal Plain Language Guidelines, Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100), and our Saturn Style Guide. Our abundant illustrations make our publications the most useful and friendly you’ll see among technical publications.
We publish documents in print, PDF, eBook, and HTML web-help formats.
