Synopsis

For undergraduate-level courses in Technical Writing, Technical Communication and Professional Communication.

Technical Writing: A Practical Approach is a straight-forward textbook that emphasizes one simple principle: you learn to write best by doing as much writing as possible. The author's writing style is reader-friendly, and engages students by having them write early (Chapter 1). This text keeps students current on today's technical communication topics and research, which are integrated throughout the text.
