Book Description
Open Professional and Technical Editing with Handbook is a zero-cost, openly licensed textbook designed specifically to prepare students for the real-world demands of modern technical and workplace editing. Bridging the gap between traditional grammar instruction and contemporary editorial practice, this textbook covers essential skills from hard- and soft-copy markup, document design, and digital accessibility to sentence-level style, structural editing, and navigating AI in editing workflows. It also features a condensed, functional Grammar Handbook for Editors remixed from Brehe’s Grammar Anatomy for quick, on-the-job reference.
Developed through a year-long collaborative open pedagogy initiative led by Dr. Tiffani Tijerina at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, this text was drafted, reviewed, and edited by undergraduate and graduate editing students themselves. By pairing foundational editing principles with forward-looking standards for inclusive language and collaborative project management, this student-centered guide offers an engaging, accessible, and practical roadmap for anyone entering the editing profession.
