Workshop: Let’s create a Style Guide!¶
This workshop is for writers who have never used, or don’t currently have, a Style Guide in place.
We’ll briefly demonstrate the importance of a Style Guide through practical examples, and then we’ll look at some real-life Style Guide varieties before we launch into creating a Style Guide on the spot, through a collaborative workshop.
Expect to learn more about the “correct” way to write headings, use capital letters, express dates, times and numbers and much more!
Schedule¶
- Date & Time: Friday, 16th November 2018, 2.30pm-3.30pm.

You may want to bring along a notepad or laptop to take notes though.
