Many companies have style guides that span over 100 pages and cover everything from the fine points of template use to the details of punctuation preferences. While having these documents is a sign of a well-organized writing group, a smaller, project-specific style sheet of two to 10 pages can be used on large projects that call for cross-departmental work and/or the help of contractors. This miniature version of the style guide can bring disparate groups of writers up to speed quickly and ensure that the most important aspects of the company’s writing style are consistent throughout its documentation. Perhaps most importantly, the critical aspects of template use can be emphasized in this short format to ensure efficient publication of electronic submissions.

In this audio conference, our speaker provides tips and insight on developing and managing the use of short style guides, and how best to use them to improve the quality of your regulatory submissions.
