Shane Page, a technical editor at Geosyntec Consultants, discusses the importance of technical editing and the different skills a technical editor needs to have. Shane explains that technical writing should be invisible. The best writing is clear and easy to understand, especially for technical documents, which can often be complex and filled with technical jargon.
Shane also talks about the importance of strong verbs and avoiding nominalizations, which are noun phrases that are formed from verbs. Another important skill for technical editors is the ability to take multiple documents and make them seem like one coherent effort. A good technical editor can help to make sure that all of the information is logical and easy-to-understand.
