TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As an editor have you ever thought of following up every editing project
with a questionnaire asking the author about what they felt about the
editing process and outcome?
Are there any traps in doing this? (eg you may not get honest answers as
with an anonymous survey)
Are there some questions one just must ask? (obviously one only asks
questions the answers to which you can react to as feedback, what else to
consider?)
