Tips from Twitter

FakeAPStylebook on Twitter hands us words to write by:

  1. Typographers will tell you to eliminate widows and orphans. Typographers are MONSTERS.
  2. “Kill your darlings” refers to editing overwrought copy. Our apologies to the surviving family of Gotham City’s Printon “Scoop” Presser.
  3. To avoid being sued for copyright infringement, alter one letter in each word of quotes from literary works: “Carl mi Ishmail.”
  4. Misplaced modifiers are always in the last place you look.

Priceless and free. This comes from the brilliant minds behind Write More Good.
