The Tameri website provides suggestions to writers, editors, instructors, and students interested in writing for general audiences. Our website covers the writing , editing , formatting , and marketing of literary and dramatic works. Although we address some academic writing topics, we recommend other resources for scholarly writing guidelines. Because our focus is writing for popular audiences, some suggestions do not apply to academic settings.
We explain the reasons for our recommendations based on publishing outside academia. For example, the 2011 edition of the AP Stylebook adopted email in place of e-mail . A year earlier, AP accepted the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) recommendation that website replace Web site . Academic standards for writing evolve slowly, clinging to traditions originating in past technologies and publishing processes.
We created this site (long ago in 1996) with authors in mind and continue to focus on writing for general audiences.

Instructors should remind students that an academic setting is not the same as writing in other contexts. If you are a student, use any grammar and style guides endorsed by your instructors.
