Fun with the Chicago Manual of Style
One of the fun things we like to do here at Tomeworks is go through the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) Q&A to determine how their updates impact our editing world. Here are some of our favorites from late 2023. We hope these help you get your writing right the first time around.
Roasting Writing Advice
Every time someone offers a piece for critique, there are a few items that seem to always make an appearance, regardless of whether or not they’re actually useful to the writer. Feedback needs to be applicable and it needs to be actionable, and sometimes, repeating a common slogan of writing like it’s immutable law isn’t either of those things. So today, we’re venting, we’re roasting, we’re chewing, and most importantly, we’re having fun by taking the piss out of pieces of common writing advice.
