RE: Calling all Technical Editors again!

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

What kind of skills and qualities do you think are important?  What does
your research tell you?  

You might have better success getting help with your homework if you asked
for a review of your work rather than ask for people to do your work of
gathering skills and qualities of a Technical Editor for you.
