Styling for Inclusion: How Shaping a Style Guide ...
summary
A practical account of making and funding a style guide: a Kickstarter-financed The Responsible Communication Style Guide raises money hours before the deadline, pays contributors and produces a first edition that is explicitly unfinished and iterative; concrete examples include The AP Stylebook dropping terms like "child prostitute" in 2016 and capitalizing Internet after long debate; the project documents which contributors couldn’t be paid enough, shows which updates happened, and urges redirecting existing budgets toward paid inclusive work.
