Beschreibung
This market-leading text, which reflects recent changes in technology, workplace practices and the global marketplace, progresses from concepts and basic copyediting to comprehensive editing, management and production issues.
KEY TOPICS: Technical Editing approaches editing comprehensively, defining editorial responsibility not as sentence-level revisions for correctness but rather in terms of information design and the overall effectiveness of a document in helping readers understand and complete tasks. Readers learn that the measure of a “good” document is in part outside that document, in the document’s “match” to the users' needs and the author's goals.
MARKET: For anyone wanting to improve their technical writing skills.
