NEW - OWAA Outdoor Reference Manual Vol. 3
The newly revised OWAA Outdoor Reference Manual is now available.
Created by outdoor communicators for outdoor communicators, this essential reference complements the AP Stylebook and Webster’s New World Dictionary by covering terminology, usage and conventions specific to the outdoor industry. Whether you’re writing about fish and wildlife, conservation, hunting, angling, public lands or outdoor recreation, the OWAA Outdoor Reference Manual helps ensure your work is accurate, consistent and credible.
The revised OWAA Outdoor Reference Manual provides clear, one-stop guidance on outdoor terminology, style and usage that you won’t find in standard reference books. Developed by experienced outdoor communicators, it’s the perfect companion to the AP Stylebook for anyone writing or editing outdoor content.
