Technical Review Guidelines

Subject: Technical Review Guidelines

One of the most stubborn problems technical writers encounter is obtaining
an adequate technical review of their drafts from Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs), engineers, programmers, and other lifeforms.
I'll never forget the time I got a 240-page manual back from a SME with
nothing but a single red checkmark on the front page.
More commonly, copy comes back scrawled with cryptic comments or tiny
question marks in the margins. Typically, they catch every typo, but fail
to ensure that the procedures on which they are supposed to experts work at
all.
Technical reviewers need to be trained, or failing that, need careful
instructions.
I'm enclosing a technical review cover sheet that I wrote - not because it
is perfect, but because it needs improvement. Can I call on the expertise
of this list to make a good thing better? I'll happily send the final
version to whoever requests it.
Thanks!
- Thom
