Voice & Tone

We write like a thoughtful friend.

Voice

Speak to the reader as “you.” Speak about the community as “we” / “us.” Use invitational language, not imperatives. Avoid clichés.

Tone

Unhurried and gentle, with weathered hope and serious joy.

Example
“Get Renovaré Weekly Each Friday — Curated Christian wisdom + Renovaré updates.”

Writing Rules

Small mechanics that keep copy consistent.

Renovaré

Always write Renovaré with the accent. (On Mac press option-e then e.)

Casing

Use Title Case for most headings without a period and for buttons.

CMOS + A Few Renovaré Rules

Renovaré uses the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) as its default writing style guide, with a few custom rules for Scripture references and other particulars, as outlined in our Style Manual. If in doubt, ask Kim.
