AP Stylebook

While Patch has its own style advice for situations and usages unique to Patch, the majority of our style guidance can be found in the Associated Press Stylebook. The stylebook is searchable.

  • On Page 3, you'll find an A through Z key to help you locate specific entries and information.

  • Typing command F on an Apple laptop will open up a search box. (FYI: search may be slow to load)

  • You may also click the pop-out arrow in the upper right corner of the stylebook, then click the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the page to access a search box.

  • The index, with links to entries, begins on Page 683 and ends on Page 958.
