OSTI ID:6869658
Technical writing and editing involve more than a knowledge of style and format. Often a draft must be prepared from existing documents and edited for content as well as style. A practical approach to writing and editing tasks includes increasing writer/editor exposure with cognizant personnel, researching source and legal documents, participating in project meetings, and reviewing the document by checking for inconsistencies and selectively questioning the contents. This approach will help the writer/editor prepare a reasonably accurate, politically acceptable document with a minimum of supervision.
