The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th Edition
Autor The University of Chicago Press Editorial Staffen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 sep 2024
Much has happened in the years since the publication of the seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. The world has transformed, and the Manual has risen to meet the moment. The eighteenth edition of this classic guide for writers, editors, and publishers is the most extensive revision in two decades.
Every chapter has been reexamined with diversity and accessibility in mind, and major changes include updated and expanded coverage of pronoun use and inclusive language, revised guidelines on capitalization, a broader range of examples, new coverage of Indigenous languages, and expanded advice on making publications accessible to people with disabilities. The Manual’s traditional focus on nonfiction has been expanded to include fiction and other creative genres in coverage of topics such as punctuation and dialogue, and the needs of self-published authors receive wider attention.
The citation chapters have been thoroughly reorganized for the benefit of new and experienced users alike, and the key concepts for editing mathematics have been integrated into the chapters where they will be most useful to generalists. Evolving technologies—from open-access publishing models to AI—are covered throughout. And naturally, there are some well-considered updates to familiar rules, including changes intended to align the Manual’s recommendations more closely with real-world usage.
As with every new edition, devotees of the Manual will find much to discover and ponder.

Recenzii
“A vital reference for every book and magazine editor . . . the 18th edition [of Chicago] embraces our times, while standing firm on certain fundamental ground rules . . . [Chicago’s] rules are meant not only for those of us who write and edit for a living but for anyone who writes and edits, which is to say everyone.”
“Chicago isn’t merely a guide . . . it’s like having a very smart and constantly accessible friend.”
"Citation is hard. How do you cite a dream? How do you cite dance? A musical performance? A piece of a painting? A map? A place in the sky? A thought? The eureka moment in an experiment? A memory? Or someone else’s fantasy? Applying the same apparatus to the posts and tweets and sounds and videos we all now routinely share will take some doing. We’re still working it out. Meanwhile, venerable, time-tested, and indispensable—we can thank our lucky stars for the work they do at Chicago."
“The New Chicago’s Here! The New Chicago’s Here! After years of waiting, the 18th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style is here, and it brings some big changes. . . Inside, you’ll find new guidance on inclusive language, electronic publishing, self-publishing, editing fiction, AI, new media, and more. Check it out!”
“I don’t mean to brag, but I am probably the only person on the planet who has taken The Chicago Manual of Style to all fifty U.S. states. I have hauled it onto airplanes, down the streets of multiple major metropolitan areas, onto beaches, and even up the side of a mountain in Alaska. I have a traveling pop-up grammar advice stand, called the Grammar Table, which I sit at in public places in order to answer the grammar questions of passersby. I like to have reference materials on the table in order to model the looking-things-up lifestyle I lead, and Chicago is part of that lifestyle. With my extra time, I salute this book!”
“Beyond its exhaustive regulations, the Manual provides practical guidance on matters ranging from manuscript preparation to copyright and ethical issues. It acts as a guiding light through the opaque waters of publishing. In essence, The Chicago Manual of Style is the quintessential reference for anyone committed to the serious craft and art of writing and editing.”
“The Chicago editor has all the time in the world to convert hyphens to en dashes. Unencumbered by daily deadlines, they breathe as easy as words on either side do with the extra room that the en dash grants them. Readers also feel that airiness and relief. They relax. They absorb. They process. They enjoy. Who’s got time for all that?”
“In high school, I read an anthology called The Voice That Is Great Within Us: American Poetry of the Twentieth Century straight through from beginning to end. Chicago reminds me of that book—it’s nothing less than a poetry anthology, one you can read in sequence or dip into at your pleasure. Yes, of course I use it as a reference book. But isn’t its purpose to help editors free the voice that is great within every author?”
