Ensleyedits: Creating A Style Resource For Professional Writers, Ensley Fraschillo
Master of Arts in Professional Writing Capstones
This capstone explores the creation of a resource that helps professional writers keep up with ever-changing style practices and understand the implications of different stylistic and mechanical choices.

I suggest that by shifting our focus of editing from grammar policing …
