Here are some editing resources you can access. Some are specific to British Columbia and Canada, while others are relevant to any writer.
Editors Association of Canada
The go-to resource for all things editing in Canada, with details on the editorial process, publishing, writing up a contract, and much more.
UBC Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication
https://writing.library.ubc.ca/writing-resources/guides-to-writing-and-research/
This UBC service provides UBC community members (students and faculty) with an array of academic writing support, but the website also has great advice available for all to access on a range of academic writing topics.
New Canadian Media website
This website offers a clear cheatsheet of the most common Canadian Press style guide rules, with examples for each rule. Very handy if you don’t have your CP style memorized and don’t own a copy of the style book.
Capitalize My Title
http://www.capitalizemytitle.com
Title capitalization variations between style guides can be pedantic. This website allows you to copy and paste your title and confirm that you are following the guidelines.
Punctuation guide
https://www.thepunctuationguide.com
Do you remember when to use an en-dash versus an em-dash? How about a semi-colon or a colon? This punctuation guide addresses all the punctuation minutiae, and offers clear answers with examples. Great for ESL writers.
Plain language writing
https://digital.gov/guides/plain-language
Active voice instead of passive voice. The simple word instead of the obscure one. Present tense instead of past tense. This website offers clear directives on how to emphasize clear writing in your text.
