Setting Style Guidelines

Style guidelines refer to a set of standards or formats used when creating new writing materials, such as setting typography, graphic design aspects and even text content. In collaborative writing, it is important to set these guidelines at the beginning of the project.
A style guide is a reference point that sets standards for writing documents within your organization. The focus of the style guide is not usually a matter of ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’ grammar or style but, rather, it provides guidance for instances when many possibilities exist.
