Check out the new AP Study Guides! It was wonderful to be a part of this fantastic project. I’m addicted to taking the quizzes. Excellent refreshers and track your progress!

AP Stylebook Study Guides are a series of quizzes about the mechanics of writing and the big-picture issues of storytelling.
Automatic scoring shows you the relevant style rule so you’ll understand the answer and see where to find it in the Stylebook.

If we are not using inclusive storytelling in our reporting, we aren’t being accurate. #WhatsNewInAP #ACESAccelerate

@meperl Really enjoyed your session! Such excellent and necessary info for us editors. Thank you.

One of the key points of effective critical thinking in editing is to think not about what the stylebook says but what the content needs. #ACESEditors #ACESEMERGE #ACES2022CritThinking

Using your critical thinking skills is part of being a good editor. @meperl shares the skills and steps required. #ACES2022 #ACES2022CritThinking #ACESEMERGE #ACESEditors

@systemofdocks @UCSDExtension (2) Editing is subjective, and copyeditors will each edit differently and for different audiences, but we aim to share as many resources as possible to help editors be more inclusive, avoid bias, and be exposed to other perspectives. I’ll DM you. Would love to talk more w/ you!

[Christine Steele @kindersteele]

@systemofdocks @UCSDExtension (1) Hi Marina! Good to see you! I’m glad you are in the program. I hope to have you in a class! We are following traditional rules of grammar in our program, as you said, but we highly recommend that they/their be used in coursework to be more inclusive.

@JamaalDPittman Jamaal, congratulations!!! 🎉
