A TWO-WEEK ONLINE COURSE ON TUESDAYS, MAY 11 AND 18, 2027, 2-3 P.M. EDT

The AP Stylebook includes thousands of entries, but it can’t address everything that matters to you and your audience. Creating your own custom style guide captures the specific guidance that applies to your organization, region or specialty, and helps everyone in your group make consistent style choices.

In this two-week online course, you’ll learn how to set up your own house style, including navigating inevitable conflicts between how you should write something and how everyone does it in real life, researching and deciding on guidance that’s right for your audience, and staying up to date when language and culture evolve. Plus, you’ll determine how to socialize your style guide throughout the organization to establish its authority and avoid “that’s not what spellcheck says” arguments. Join us to set and customize your house style.

Each registration includes access to AP Stylebook Online, our searchable and customizable AP style resource.

Register now to begin your access to Stylebook Online and the online classroom’s extensive on-demand videos right away.

This course will help you:

Understand the benefits in consistency and efficiency to having a custom style guide
Jumpstart the process of updating or writing your internal style guide
Establish guidance on who should be involved in determining house style and what should be in it
Avoid inconsistencies across the organization (especially in a remote workforce)

Discover how to use the Custom Stylebook setup in AP Stylebook Online as a place to house your guide

Live sessions start on Tuesday, May 11 at 2 p.m. EDT. You can join live or watch recordings at your convenience.

How to Create a Custom Style Guide

— Resources for people just getting started with digital content

— This course is offered in partnership with Edmaker, experts in online learning communities.
— Edmaker hosts the course on its web-based platform. There's nothing to download or install, but you will need a current browser and reliable internet connectivity.
— All live webinars take place on Zoom. For best results, run a current version of Zoom on your desktop or laptop computer. You can participate on your mobile device, but you will have a richer experience on a computer with a bigger screen so you can see the text on screen and engage in chat. If your security policy prevents installing Zoom, ask your technology team if you can watch the sessions using web-based Zoom as an alternative.
— After you register for the course on the Stylebook website, you will receive a claim code via email. When you redeem that code via the link included in the email, you will get an email from Edmaker to access the online workshop.
— If you sign up on behalf of multiple users, you will get an email with a set of claim codes. Share one code with each user who you would like to participate, along with the activation code link. As your users redeem their claim codes, they will get their activation emails from Edmaker and APStylebook.com.
— The online classroom works best when you have JavaScript and cookies enabled. Flash and other plugins are not required.
