Technical writers need the instruction on communicating electronically as well as designing and creating documents for an electronic medium that Anderson provides. Technical Communication is still a process-oriented text that focuses on audience and purpose while presenting important additional information on writing with new technologies.

About this title

Review:

"My son, a geology major, used this text when he took the class (from a different instructor). He gave it good reviews and has kept it as a reference, even now that he's working full-time."
