STC Summit 2016

Your success as a technical editor depends on the quality of your working relationship with SMEs. Creating and maintaining a productive relationship takes effort and some planning, but it is worth it. Ann Marie will share practical, proven techniques and tips she has used as a procedures editor in the medical device industry. Topics include how to recognize and adapt to a SME’s preferred working style, prioritizing editing remarks (which battles to fight), identifying the signals of SME fatigue, and expanding your usefulness to the project or team.
