Keeping a Sense of Humor

摘要

New technical editors face many problems that are not discussed in college textbooks. While working within the management structure, they must analyze the needs of their organization, be sensitive to individual personalities, innovate, and gain acceptance for new and more efficient ways of producing written communications. This paper describes some simple and pratical ideas from the experiences of a new technical editor for working successfully with authors and management to improve attitudes toward written presentations. These concepts can help the technical editor to increase the quality and accelerate the production of written communications from draft to printed copy while maintaining a civil relationship with authors and keeping a sense of humor.
