For over a hundred years, Hart's Rules has been the authority on style, helping writers and editors prepare copy for publication. The latest edition of this guide has been updated for the twenty-first century using the resources of Oxford Dictionaries and with the advice of publishing experts.

Twenty-one chapters give information on all aspects of writing and of preparing copy for publication, whether in print or electronically. New Hart's Rules gives guidance on a broad range of topics including publishing terms, layout and headings, how to treat illustrations, hyphenation, punctuation, and bibliographies and notes. All chapters have been revised and updated to reflect current practice (taking into account changes in the world and in the publishing industry over the last eight years), with the help of a team of experts and consultants. Chapters that have been particularly heavily revised include those dealing with the use and presentation of illustrations, with the conventions of scientific publishing, and with the art of indexing. Additionally, an entirely new chapter has been written to explore and summarize the differences between UK and US English.

The text is designed and organized for maximum accessibility with clearly displayed examples throughout. Authoritative and comprehensive, and endorsed by the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, New Hart's Rules is the essential desk guide for all writers and editors. Together with the New Oxford Spelling Dictionary and the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors it forms the complete editorial reference set.

Essential Companion

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2017

As a professional editor, I regard this book (together with the Oxford Dictionary for Writers & Editors) as the final authority when it comes to style decisions. The English language is constantly evolving (for instance, hyphens are gradually disappearing from noun compounds) and New Hart's Rules mirrors those changes. I've just bought this edition to replace the one I purchased in 2005 because some things have altered, even in such a short space of time.

Essential!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2020

If you are looking to know the rules of making your writing look professional and clear, then this book is essential. From style and Copyright, to Grammar and Punctuation, to the difference between US and UK spellings. This handy little book has transformed my writing from appearing amateur to having a professional feel about the manuscript. No UK writer, or publisher should be without a copy of this on their desk. I cannot praise this little book enough, after three and half years of floundering around in the self-publishing industry I finally feel like I know what I am doing.

Thank you.

It is indispensable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2017

I use it all the time. It is indispensable. An author has to have a backstop anchor. This is it. When editing opinion diverges and diversifies, I can always step back to New Hart's Rules to be my guide. And, if I differ from a critic, I can confidently step back and say, "I use New Hart's Rules" as my standard." I need no more argument than that!

Kindle Version -- excellent for quick delivery. Amazing book, I will purchase hard-copy too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for Kindle, because I needed a copy there and then, and even though we have Amazon Prime I couldn't wait until next day. The book is outstanding, perfect, and just what I wanted. I will buy this as a hard copy too, as I prefer physical books to Kindle books. Very pleased with this -- it will be used so much!
