Media Reviews
I read this book whilst engaged on two medium-sized Web projects, and can confirm that all the roles, tasks and collaborations they describe are 100 per cent accurate. (Writing & Computers, 5 March 2002) a great book if you publish a large amount of content (Internet Advisor, May 2002) ... hurrah for a book which, as it's subtitle says, is about The Principles of Writing and Editing for the Web... (Writers News, July 2002) ...a good book which sets out the skills and responsibilities of online content developers... (M2 Best Books, 19 August 2002) ...the authors cover an impressive range...I particularly liked the pithy panels in which an expert gives his or her view on topics...the examples of poor and good practice are another strength...
