Information Status

We are currently revising content on plainlanguage.gov, including the federal guidelines, training materials, and other online resources. We’ve temporarily paused accepting training requests until after this update is complete. We hope to resume training later in the fall 2023.

Style guides

Style guides are not a plain language issue, except that your style guide should include directions to write in plain language. Plain language works with whatever style you follow.

Here are some style guides. If you have an update, please let us know at info@plainlanguage.gov.
