I specialise in compiling EDITORIAL STYLE GUIDES. An editorial style guide can help your organisation to achieve consistency, correctness and credibility in its written content. It's a service that might be of interest to you if yours is a biggish organisation working with multiple content authors.An editorial style guide is a document that helps writers by providing rules and guidelines on:- Language version, e.g. UK or US English- How you write about your organisation- Writing style- Grammar and syntax, capitalisation and punctuation- Times, dates, numbers and places…… and an A–Z consistency checklist for words and phrases with more than one correct spelling, and covering dos and don’ts for terminology specific to the organisation and sector.Having these things documented makes the job of copyeditors and proofreaders easier because their edits and changes can be more objective and less “I wouldn’t have put it like that”. An editorial style guide can keep your writers and reviewers motivated, improve the quality of your content, and spare you the cost and delays associated with multiple revisions of every document.CHOOSE MEI’ve worked for many years as an editor, proofreader, writer, and translator. My editing assignments have ranged from straightforward proofreading of companies’ annual reports through to major structural editing such as rewriting thousands of words of copy written by non‑English subject-matter experts. Prior to that, I started correcting people's English when I was still in junior school, so I'm told.The specialist niche that I'm developing is compiling editorial style guides for companies. I’ve found that many organisations don’t have editorial style guides that are fit for purpose, and my clients agree. They may have guidelines that are too complicated and prescriptive so that no one uses them. Or the guidelines they have may be too light on detail. Or they may contain confusing or contradictory instructions. Or they may not have written guidelines at all. So I’ve compiled editorial style guides on an ad hoc basis for clients who need such things and don’t have them – and these have been well received.See my free-to-use, general-purpose editorial style guide: https://cliffordandco.uk/generic-style-guide/.TRIAL OFFERI’m working on creating a customised editorial style guide package that I can roll out to clients. I’ve yet to work out some details. I’m looking for a small number of test clients to help me refine my process and, in return, benefit from an advantageous pilot-scheme price. Interested?
