Editing Technical Writing

It has often been said of lawyers, that their job is not to confuse a jury with legalese, but to make the case so clear that the lowest member of the jury-pool can understand the facts at hand.

That's good advice for technical writing as well. Even when experts write for experts, the basic tenets of clear authorship apply; clarity, brevity, interest. The best technical paper will not be widely read if it does not hold the interest of its audience.

Your writing is unique and deserves the widest possible audience. A great paper is only as good as the its ability to pull readers into the conversation.

Excellent work deserves excellent editing, in order to

• make sure the focus is not lost
• logically order the argument
• correct run-on sentences and paragraphs
• avoid repetition
• polish the writing style, while maintaining authorial voice
