The Importance of a Style Guide in a Project

A style guide is a very, very good thing for editors. It will keep them from wasting time re working documents to fit their preferences. A spelling issue might be whether to use the american or british spelling of a word. And finally, a general writing recommendation might be whether jargon is allowed. When you start a project with a new company or publication, always try to get the style guide. If you hire writers, make sure you have a style guide to give them.
