Whether you're a writer, proofreader or editor, for books, periodicals or websites, the Collins Dictionary for Writers and Editors will be your essential reference. It contains accessible information covering everything from style and Americanization (or Americanisation), to proofreading marks and transliterations.

It also includes:

  • abbreviations and acronyms
  • misspellings
  • compound words
  • plurals
  • capitalisation
  • apostrophes
  • titles
