The international association for plain language professionals that promotes clear communication in any language.
The PLAIN e-journal Vol5 No2 2023 is now available to read for PLAIN members. We think this edition's theme Collaboration: The Heart of Plain Language Advancement will complement nicely with the #PLAIN2023 conference currently underway in Buenos Aires

Collaboration in this field can come in many different forms: with users, with colleagues, with mentors, with international peers, even with technology. Each form of collaboration is valuable and contributes to the greater evolution of the plain language field. The writers of this issue offer their experience and advice for where and how to seek opportunities for collaboration in plain language.
