Did you know
The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition
has a tip of the day? Here's a recent one: In running text, "Spell out "United States" as a noun; reserve "US" for the adjective form only.—CMOS 16, 10.33"
If you "like" them on Facebook, the tip shows up in the morning on your feed.
I usually put at least one editing tip in my SharingwithWriters newsletter where you'll get lots of promotion resources, too. To subscribe send an e-mail with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line to HoJoNews (at) AOL (dot) com.
