Subject:How do you use e-mail in the editing process? From:"Monica L. Younger" <myounger -at- CARBON -dot- CUDENVER -dot- EDU> Date:Sat, 30 Mar 1996 20:05:07 -0700
I am a graduate student writing a short paper for my classmates entitled,
"Using E-mail in the editing of technical documents." I have identified
the different components of the editing process below, with help from
Carolyn Rude's book, *Technical Editing*, and I intend to
discuss how (if at all) e-mail can be used in the components I have listed.
-Planning/defining the project
-Budgeting and scheduling
-Gathering material
-Analyzing the document
-Copyediting
-Substantive editing
-Conferencing with writers
-Conferencing with printers
-Production
-Distribution
Thanks for sharing your particular strategies for using this
device as a tool for editing. I will be happy to share my results with
anyone who requests an electronic copy of the final paper.
