Make Your Writing Bulletproof with a Custom Style Sheet
Consistency is key—whether you're publishing a nonfiction book or managing communications for a small business.
A style sheet is just as important as a branding guide when it comes to protecting and strengthening your brand. Even though this document is small, its impact is big: A well-built style sheet helps you create clear, consistent messaging and makes your editing and content-creation process more efficient, saving you time and money.

Why Style Sheets?
Why You Need A Style Sheet
When I begin working with a new client, one of the first steps we take is to create a style sheet customized for their project or company. As I edit their content, I track key decisions about spelling, grammar, tone, formatting, and more and record that information on our style sheet. After the project wraps up, we review these notes together and finalize the style sheet—giving my clients a ready-to-use reference for future projects.
A strong style sheet helps in multiple ways:
Maintains brand consistency across all your materials
Streamlines the editing and publishing process
Reduces decision fatigue and confusion
Saves time (and money) by minimizing rework
Empowers teams and authors with clear communication standards
Whether you're tackling your next book, updating your website, or managing internal communications, a customized style sheet gives you a professional edge.
