I consult a variety of manuals, guides and dictionaries. I adapt to your preferences; if you have none, I will make professional recommendations in your best interest. Employing a consistent editorial style, whatever it might be, is a must. Doing so makes editing decisions an easy call. The reality is, editorial style typically meshes a formal style guide with a client’s predilections, audience expectations and brand requirements.

Among the reference materials I call upon:

• The Associated Press Stylebook  

• The Chicago Manual of Style

• Webster's New World College Dictionary

• Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

• Garner's Modern American Usage

• Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary
