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.
There's a neat book called "Editors on Editing: What Writers Need To
Know About What Editors Do." It's essays by editors about the editing
process. It's been awhile since I looked at it, and it's not directed
specifically at technical editors, but one of the comments I remember
well is that editors who are really frustrated writers make bad editors.
The point being that editors need to keep their egos at bay.
Anyway, I think it's worth a look for anyone doing editing, even if
you're just doing a peer edit for the writer in the next cube.
