Synopsis

Taking readers through every phase involved in technical editing, this comprehensive, practical guide provides all the implements, copy marks, editors' marks, and guidance to help professionals systematically enhance the effectiveness and readability of any technical document entrusted to them. The coverage begins with efficient techniques for gathering reference materials and follows up with methods for: determining the requirements, audience, and purpose of the manuscript; effectively marking it; editing for organization, conciseness, clarity, and technical accuracy; collaborating with other editors and authors; and proofreading. In addition to Technical Writers and Editors, this reference will be of value to such technical personnel as Engineers, Programmers, Managers, Scientists, and anyone involved in editing technical manuscripts.
