Technical Communication prepares students to make the leap from writing in college to writing in a variety of workplace settings and contexts. Full of clear, practical advice and real-world examples from a range of sources, the text gives students practice with the kinds of writing processes and products they’ll encounter on the job. The new edition shines a light on the challenges of writing in a variety of contexts across a variety of media and continues to provide thorough guidance with new examples that prepare students to become effective, responsible communicators in a technologically saturated world.
