Page one of three on the AP poster. Suitable for framing. Please do so, or at least prevent the kids from drawing a fake mustache on me. Then again, it’d be better than my real mustache, so whatever…

A while back, I asked you all what you might need or what might be helpful to your newsrooms and classrooms. One of the biggest asks was an AP style poster of some kind that would allow you to have some of the most frequent errors showcased and some of your worst pet peeves discussed.

I collected a bunch of your particular asks, went through what my students tended to screw up and leaned more than a bit into the “5-Minute Style Guide” from the immortal Fred Vultee of Wayne State University to pull this together. I then sent it off and asked Sage what they could do with it.

Well, the marketing team has come through once again. They built a three-page poster that you can download and print. The poster is 18 x 21 per page, so if you’ve got a mega printer, it’s easy peasy, I’m told. If not, you can merge a couple pages and send it to FedEx as an architectural document that will print two or more pages together. (This is how I print my pinball electric schematics; it’s impossible to chase circuit problems without them…)

Here’s the link to the PDF, so feel free to download it and share it with anyone you’d like.

Also, if you are looking for a book for the upcoming year, Sage included a list of recent titles across its properties on the third page. Even if you’re not interested in one of my books on that list, feel free to hit me up with a request for whichever one you are looking at and I’ll pass you along to Staci Wittek, who is one of the best people on Earth.

Hope this helps and hope you have a good rest of the semester!
