Praise for The Conscious Style Guide

“Karen Yin is no language cop, ready to arrest us for our word crimes. Instead, in The Conscious Style Guide, she is the beloved school crossing guard, protecting us, guiding us, reminding us to look both ways.”

―Roy Peter Clark, author of Writing Tools

“A must-have reference for any bookshelf!”

―Emily Ladau, disability rights activist and author of Demystifying Disability

“The Conscious Style Guide will inspire writers and their editors to make choices that not only respect readers but, in the process, bring us all a little closer to the truth.”

―Russell Harper, principal reviser of The Chicago Manual of Style

“A tremendous resource, affirming and instructive at the same time. I absolutely love it.”

―Paula Froke, editor of The Associated Press Stylebook

“Yin, with insight, empathy, and unflinching honesty, deftly guides the reader through finding, and unleashing, the most potent power we have: our conscious choice of words.”

—Lisa Cron, author of Story Genius and Story or Die

“An essential resource for writers and editors who want to get up to speed on writing with empathy and care.”

―Mignon Fogarty, host of the Grammar Girl podcast

“No list of dos and don’ts can replace the thoughtful guidance offered by Yin. The Conscious Style Guide is a must-have reference for anyone who wants to communicate well, compassionately, and clearly.”

―Kory Stamper, author of Word by Word
