How to Create House Style Guides

A house style guide lays out the editorial practices of a company and how they might differ from The Chicago Manual of Style or The Associated Press Stylebook. As an editorial professional, you might have years of experience following various publishers’ style guides, but what about creating one yourself? This overview will introduce you to what’s involved in this type of work—how to approach a project, getting buy-in from key players, what to include (or not), format considerations, and more.

More information and registration will be available closer to the event date.
