House Style

What to Watch

• Write down recurring choices: group name, meeting time, place names, titles, dates, and capitalization.
• Choose a preferred spelling when more than one is acceptable.
• Use one date, phone-number, heading, and link format throughout.
• Update the sheet when a real recurring question appears.

Practice

Make a one-page house style sheet for the Writer’s Group: preferred group name, meeting format, local place names, dates, headings, and how links should appear.
