Using a Style Guide to Implement Plain Language in Your Organization

Plain Canada Clair

How to turn your house style guide into a handy manual for creating plain language documents

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to turn your house style guide into a handy manual for creating plain language documents.Simply telling everyone in your organization to use plain language won’t make it happen. Providing training on the principles of plain language will help, but to make it part of your workplace culture you need to make it easy. Editors and communications professionals use style guides to create consistency across communications. But they can also be very effective tools for sharing plain language guidelines and making them easily accessible to all writers. Michelle will show you how.
