Features of the new manual in 2024

It’s free – no more renewals or logins but simply an open-access resource for everyone.
It retains all the information in the current manual – providing clear guidance about writing, editing and style.
It provides new information about content – including content strategy, accessibility, content design and data visualisation.

New subscribers or those renewing their subscriptions before 2024 will be given a price reduction during the changeover period. From 1 September 2023 to 31 December 2023, the price of AMOS will be $22. After that, AMOS will be free until decommissioned in 2024.
