Definition: In the magazine writing world, editors will sometimes adopt a "house style" that covers questions about the content, punctuation and grammar choices of the publication. Some editors will collect this information into a document called a "crib sheet." This is basically just an informal term for the writer's guidelines or writer's style book.
Also Known As: house style guide, house style, cheat sheet, writers guidelines, writers style sheet
Examples: We prefer not to use serial commas in the magazine; I'll send you over the crib sheet for further reference.
