How to Build Your Own Style Guide

Great article on putting together your own style guide from Daily Writing Tips.

You might think that this is only useful for copywriters and journalists, but I actually recommend setting up a style guide if you’re writing fiction, especially a novel.

When you start writing long-form fiction it’s easy to remember what’s gone before, but once you get into the thick of it, dates, characters and all manner of details inevitably slip your mind.

Having a document that contains all this information can prove invaluable.
