The Technical Communicator's Handbook begins with five sections covering the essential topics of the technical communication process from planning to production.

Unique qualities of this handbook include: discussions of brainstorming, mind mapping, and freewriting; evaluating Internet sources; style, tone, and bias; designing and illustrating on-line as well as print documents; and major editing strategies. Complete sections are devoted to using the Internet and developing a wide variety of interpersonal skills.
