ScottKWelcome to Scott K's page. Editing is an important part of what I would like to do in my future career endeavors. I have very little experience with technical editing. Technical editing appears to be different than what I originally thought it would be. Tarutz's chapter, "What is Technical Editing", presents technical editing in a much broader sense than I had originally conceived. Although the job description of technical editor may differ from company to company, the technical editor is still responsible for a variety of tasks. I found the section on specialist versus generalist to be particularly interesting because it displayed to me that there are benefits to being both. I noticed that Tarutz was presenting technical editing situations that were favorable. Although she provided a table listing technical editing downsides, she rhetorically persuades her audience to chose techincal editing over technical writing.
