Style guides vs. publication guidelines: expand your communications visionStyle guides are essential aids for writers and editors who produce publications and online help projects—but a style guide isn't the whole story. Why write publication guidelines? They are especially helpful when contractors know they will pass along a project to an in-house documentation team—-or, what's probably a worse situation--to the developers. They are invaluable to contributors if the project must be turned over before it's finished. They save money over the long run because editors and writers don't have to reinvent the wheel and spend extra time duplicating research. They also make it easier to organize publications, because they can include items outside the scope of a style guide. Want to save money and headaches with your projects?
