Style Manual Published July 2004 This publication has for the most part been written with Government publications in mind, but many sections of the book are relevant to those writing for general publishing. The Style manual for authors, editors and printers sixth edition provides guidance and recommendations for anyone faced with the task of preparing material for publication in either print or electronic format. The sixth edition is a substantial revision-in response to the extensive changes in the publishing industry since the previous edition of 1994. It emphasises the importance of focusing on the audience's need when planning, structuring, writing, designing and editing a publication; and reflects a more multicultural and global outlook that recognises the influence of the Internet on publishing. The procedural steps in publishing form the underlying structure of this new edition. Advice is given on how to plan, undertake and evaluate a publishing project. General practices in editing, design, electronic publishing, indexing and printing fields are also discussed.
