Good point Craig. It seems as though the senior writer would need to have the power to make any needed changes. Of course, he or she would need to have the time to edit on top of regular writing duties.

I think no matter the size of the team, there needs to be some sort of documentation to serve as a guide.

Thanks for your input.

The big problem with this is that only larger companies can afford all the writers and editors needed. If there is no budget for an editor, a senior writer needs to have that power and responsibility. But it is vital that the company make sure the senior writer knows best practices and has the backing of the other writers.

I used to work in a documentation department of 5 tech writers and the issue of style and content strategy would come up a lot, but because there was no editor, the senior writer had the final say. Big problem, because the senior had no formal training and was the one doing things the wrong way. It caused endless (and needless) rounds of rewrites and reviews and ultimately resulted in the disbanding of the team.
