I read this in one sitting. A great book to use as a guide when you’re ready to ctrl F for words you shouldn’t be using in your novel. I appreciated the overview of deep POV because I’m working on that right now!
I wish I had this when I was in school. Great manual that would be helpful for anyone teaching or involved in writing and/or editing. It was informative in editing, grammar, punctuation, writing styles etc. Great guide for students on any level of writing.
got style is an absolute gem to have as a reference. Reading through it reminding me of things I have forgotten or that might have changed with the times. Informative. So easy to follow along with plenty of examples. A must have!
I enjoyed this grammar refresher very much. I am trying to write myself and some of what I relearned or remembered is going to make it that much better.
