Technical Communication and the Discipline of Content by Rebekka Andersen

This book explores how workflows and technologies that treat content as computable data are changing the roles, work activities, and outputs of professional technical communicators. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of technical writing, professional and public writing, content strategy, and more.

“Andersen and Evia provide a comprehensive, yet accessible, explanation of the various categories of the content disciplineMore importantly, they outline what it will take to prepare students for the kind of work going on right now in the workplace. Their approach is to teach carefully and specifically. This book will interest both academia and industry.”

Tracy Bridgeford, University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA

“Technical Communication and the Discipline of Content is exactly what the field of technical communication needs right now—rigorous empirical research that describes both how content work is evolving and what those shifts mean for educators, students, and practitioners of content strategy.”

Erin Friess, University of North Texas, USA

“Andersen and Evia share novel research into, and apply thoughtful reflection on, the core question of how the education of technical communicators needs to evolve especially now that AI has joined us at the table. For those of us working in this field, the time to engage this question is now. This book will help us to do this.”
