Good writing is made up of many elements. You need great content, clear headings, plain words, and engaging layout. But one thing that’s often overlooked is style. Style is the art of keeping all the details consistent — from spelling and punctuation to quotations and numbers.
To style your words the right way (and the same way every time) you need a good style guide. We’ve just updated ours. It’s concise but comprehensive advice for anyone who writes at work.
What’s in our style guide
The Write Style Guide tells you things like:
- how to use punctuation marks
- which words to capitalise
- when to use numerals and when to spell out numbers as words
- how to choose and use a referencing style
- how to write well for your readers.
The Write Style Guide is an essential writing tool for anyone who writes at work. Even if you’re ‘just’ writing emails!
