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.
> I need information about estimating time for the editing portion of a
> technical writing project. There are formulas for calculating the
> number of pages a day for writing, but I haven't been able to find
>anything similar for editing. It would be more helpful yet if the
information is broken out into the levels of edit.
We estimate 1 to 2 pages per hour for substantive editing and 4 to 6
pages per hour for copyediting.
