From explaining what 'juggalo' means to recipes for sweet potato bourbon noodle kugel, the website's guide is well worth a visitNo, not the Coco Chanel kind of style; the other kind: the writing and editing style that newspapers and websites follow to maintain accuracy, clarity and consistency. At the Guardian, we've had one since 1928 (you can download the first here); BuzzFeed published its style guide this week. And excellent it is too.If you're not familiar with BuzzFeed – and therefore, unlike me, don't spend half the day clicking your way through the various feeds (LOL, OMG, cute, trashy, fail … you get the idea) – it's the website you visit to see pictures of the world's most fashionable hamster or take part in improving quizzes such as "Which Circle Of Hell Will You Go To?".It's an American site, but it opened a London office last year and there's lots to interest British readers, from the hilarious –"This Is What Every Single Episode Of The One Show Is Like" – to the insightful: "The 21 Most Delightful Moments In The Life Of A British Person" (No 1: Waking up after a big night feeling horrendous only to realise that you bought bacon yesterday in preparation for the hangover).BuzzFeed has news and serious stuff too, and its liberal heart is in just the right place to please Guardian readers. I love the site, and I love its style guide, and here are 15 reasons why.1 It's got entries that no other style guide has"Fangirl", "batshit", "bitchface" – one word or two?...

In 1993, I published my first decent story in a literary journal and a few months later received a letter from an agent whose name I recognized. I’d written short stories in college classes, sent them off, and typically the only thing that came back was a rejection, housed in the... Continue reading at Electric Literature
