Style guides: what are they and do I need one?

Style guides: what are they and do I need one?

A style guide is a useful tool for both the client and the editor. In this video I answer these questions:

• what is a style guide?
• how does a style guide help me?
• how does a style guide help an editor?
• which style guide should I use?

This should give you a much better understanding of what style guides are and how they can help your writing

If you use a style guide, let me know here in the comments which you prefer. I'd love to hear from you.

Loved this video. Said in under five minutes what others ramble on about for half an hour, lol.

This has been extremely informative in terms of learning about style guides and also very inspiring to me as kind of an aspiring creator of vaguely educational youtube videos. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this. Now I just need to find one that is suited for children's - rhyming picture books! I had no idea what a style guide was and was very much confused when the illustrator/publishing company asked me which style guide. I am so new at this that I did not realize I even needed a style guide. Thank you again.

I was told by my client to use 'UK style guide' and I have no clue what they referred to.
