The Chicago Manual of Style is the industry standard for magazine articles, trade journals, and books, both fiction and nonfiction. In academe, it is almost always used for history papers. Book publishers may change some elements of the article or manuscript to conform to house style, but having your work in "Chicago format" is always appreciated.

The Chicago Manual of Style, in print, is over 900 pages. It is also available online by subscription. But, if you're doing a final edit on your document, do you know what term to look up when you have a question?

For instance: Do you know when to put a hyphen between two words? (Hint: Do the words form a compound adjective or adverb? Is the compound permanent or temporary?)

Our Chicago Manual of Style experts can help finalize the editing and formatting of your project so that your submission is clean, coherent, and compelling.
