Punctuation For Fiction Writers

by Rick Taubold, Scott Gamboe

Do commas confuse you and do colons leave you clueless? Do you know the basics but are missing the finer points? Do you have a good grasp of punctuation but run into an occasional challenge where you aren’t sure of what to do?

Whatever your level of expertise may be, Punctuation for Fiction Writers is your go-to reference. Concise, yet comprehensive, it's filled with practical advice, effective techniques, copious examples, and some unexpected topics not found in similar books.

It approaches the subject based on how fiction writers actually write instead of how the formal rules of grammar say you should. Filled with options, it shows you when you can deviate from the conventions and when it's inadvisable to do so.

Punctuation For Fiction Writers will help ensure that all the raves are about your story and not about misplaced commas.

One of the best references I know; a go-to for all those annoying questions that spring up regarding punctuation. To all those writers out there, I say get the book, read it well and save yourself a lot of heartache in revision.
