It's incredible how boring most Writing Style Guides are. And a lot of it comes down to how little a company/team prioritizes the value of these guides and understands how wonderful they can be for writers.
I think of them like comic book scripts.
They present the rules for the writers to work with while giving them the imagination they need to create amazing work. Do you want the writing team's work to be unique and personable? Then the Writing Style Guide needs to be unique and personable! Let them learn by example.

β 104 proofreading/editing projects completed.
On top of all this work, I managed to do a 45-minute workshop about how to write and edit with AI writing tools. Great month!
Despite the small drop, it looks more and more like AI-generated content is here to stay. Last month, 19.2% of the work I edited was either 100% generated by AI or a mix of both AI and human writing. π€
β Hereβs what April looked like for me:
β 112,020 words reviewed in total.
(Thatβs just about 700 words shy of π Frank Norris' underappreciated MCTEAGUE.)
