Technical Editing

Sustainability and Cumulative Effects Management Frameworks

Development of environmental management frameworks is a lengthy process involving stakeholders from a variety of sectors including government, industry, municipalities, ENGOs, and the public. Bringing together all of the input from these various sectors and presenting it in logical fashion with a single narrative voice is the job the technical editor. Much of this developmental editing requires substantial rewriting of original and collaboratively developed materials.
