Reviews"A fine textbook and an excellent resource."--Marianthe Karanikas, Southwest Missouri State University"The strength...is that it addresses the additional roles technical editors assume while it provides solid coverage of traditional editing conventions. The text helps new editors and students avoid these unpredictable learning methods by clearly explaining the major editing conventions found in style manuals, offering the time-worn advice of an experienced technical writer, and providing the opportunity to practice on sample technical texts."--Journal ofBusiness and Technical Communication, "A fine textbook and an excellent resource."--Marianthe Karanikas, Southwest Missouri State University, "The strength...is that it addresses the additional roles technical editors assume while it provides solid coverage of traditional editing conventions.
