Reviews
"Technical Editing is a thorough how-to textbook for students of all ages and majors, filled with relevant examples and actual scenarios. The authors take students on a journey that begins with an overview of the discipline. They explain the importance of planning, preparing, and organizing an editing project and then guide students step-by-step through the various types of editing and proofreading required in today's fast-paced professional world."--Aimee Whiteside, The University of Tampa "Technical Editing is the most comprehensive, deep, and concrete treatment of editing processes, careers, and responsibilities that I have encountered in twenty-five years of teaching. It is among the most effectively and carefully contextualized texts for contemporary pedagogy and professional development in technical communication. The text is mindful of professional standards, information design technologies and practices, and audience needs. The authors set out to raise the standard of excellence for textbooks in technical communication, and I am incredibly impressed that they succeeded in accomplishing that goal."--Bill Williamson, Saginaw Valley State University "This is a newer, slightly 'hipper' addition to the canon of editing textbooks that you can feel good about assigning to a room full of fresh-faced undergraduates in the twenty-first century. The book demystifies complex editing procedures that often plague those new to the profession."--Paul Cook, Indiana University Kokomo
