Synopsis

Tools for Technical and Professional Communication is for writers preparing for careers in science business, and government. It bridges the traditional concerns of technical communication and the broader, emerging requirements of professional communication.
The text envisions writers and speakers who in their daily work use a wide variety of communication skills: generating and organizing ideas quickly and well; writing effective memos, letters, reports, proposals, and business plans; contributing to collaborative writing and presentation teams; devising graphics to aid communication; participating in and leading productive meetings; producing articles for publication; and employing the listening skills and interviewing strategies so crucial to career success.
Finally, a section of five case studies at the end of the book asks writers to imagine themselves in various professional situations and to practice the communication skills that those situations might require.
