But when we're responsible for our company's marketing initiatives, we must not only put together coherent sentences, but we must also drive consumers/users/readers to take action (e.g. click through, sign up, read more, etc.).    With that in mind, let's review a handful of resources on writing and style that can help turn a perpetually blank page into content marketing at its finest.    **[The Associated Press Stylebook](https://www.apstylebook.com/apbookstore/invoice.php)**   Considered the journalist's Bible, the AP Stylebook is handy for any digital enterprise, because it can create the consistency most marketing departments desire. It can also serve as the final voice of authority between coworkers, because it contains resolution to many disputed words, rules, abbreviations, etc. While it's not much for inspiration, the AP Stylebook, often referred to as just AP Style or AP Style Guide, is an essential reference for writers to create a uniformed content marketing campaign. While this editor, prefers the traditional hard-copy book (with even a preference toward the spiral bound book, instead of the flat binding), the AP Stylebook is also available on the Web and multiple users can be added to a company's account.    [**Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer**](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/writing-tools-roy-peter-clark/1102547731?ean=9780316014984&itm=1&usri=9780316014984)   Think tools, not rules for this book by one of America's most influential writing teachers, Roy Peter Clark.
