Many publishers ask that manuscripts comply with a specific set of style guidelines. The Savvy team includes editors who are proficient in the following styles:

  • Chicago Manual of Style 
  • Associated Press Stylebook (AP)
  • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA)


We pride ourselves on knowing the rules, but we also know when to bend them for effect or readability. That means that, while we'll use the stylebook as a guideline, we'll tailor the editing to your project type and style.
