We're excited to chat with Karen Yin, founder of the Conscious Style Guide website, about her forthcoming book, which "provides a roadmap for writing and speaking with sensitivity and awareness—no matter how the world around us progresses." Register now: bit.ly/ThatWordChat

On Yin's new book: "My main goal was to bridge this gap that I had been noticing between people wanting to be more inclusive and just not knowing exactly how to get there." #ThatWordChat

The tl;dr -- If you want lists that tell you what words to use or not to use, go to the website. If you want to expand on that and look at the overarching principles to guide your practice and help you think critically, read "The Conscious Style Guide." - Yin #ThatWordChat

"I try to present conscious style as flexible. It means depending on who you are and who your audience is, you may choose to be more creative with your terminology. I wanted to set it up so that the answer is not binary so that there is no right or wrong." - Yin #ThatWordChat

The soon-to-be-released Conscious Style Guide book by Karen Yin is already on many editors' must-read list. Here Erin Brenner (she/her) takes a look at what you'll find in the book. (P.S. If you loved Karen's fantastic 2017 Red Pencil Keynote presentation for us, you'll want this book!)
