We’re happy to announce that six books from Microsoft Press have received awards from the Society for Technical Communication – Puget Sound Chapter’s 2013 competition!

This annual contest recognizes outstanding technical communication produced in the region. Each entry receives a thorough evaluation by judges who provide feedback and ratings based on STC’s international standards on a wide range of criteria, including technical content, achievement of purpose, editing, visual design, and production.

Here are the Microsoft Press books that received awards this year. Note that all three of our Excellence Award winners move on to the International Competition.
