Editing Web Sites

 

  • Purdue University On-line Writing Lab (OWL)
    One of the best online guides to grammar and punctuation. Includes MLA and APA citation styles.
  • The Elements of Style, by William Strunk (1918)
    This original Strunk and White is almost as good as the edition currently in print, and the Web presentation is particularly useful.
  • Writing/Editing/Design for Copy Editors
    A multifaceted site from the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, and therefore newspaper oriented. Site includes tips for writing headlines and captions.
  • The University of Illinois Writers' Workshop Online Resources for Writers
    If you find anything missing from OWL, try the Grammar Handbook here.
  • Jack Lynch's Grammar and Style Notes
    Addresses many of the tricky questions that copy editors face frequently.
  • Frequently Asked Questions (and answers) from the Usenet newsgroup alt.usage.english.
