The Professional Writing Teacher as Author's Editor.

Speck, Bruce W.

Technical Communication Quarterly, v1 n3 p37-57 Sum 1992

Discusses the connection between editors and teachers. Describes the author's editor, who focuses on helping authors meet the expectations of gatekeepers. Discusses how professional writing teachers might use the author's editor as a teaching model (helping students write for actual audiences and teaching more about the text-production process), and obstacles to doing so.
