How your style survives

One style sheet, kept per client.

Every decision is captured once — spelling, hyphenation, numbers, capitalisation, citations — then applied on every batch, by every editor on your desk. New editors inherit it on day one.

The style sheet is yours: reviewed with you, versioned, and handed over whenever you ask.
