What you can look forward to finding in this book ...
This guide is aimed at fiction writers, writers wanting a quick refresher and those writers who self-edit their books. The easy to use layout allows you to dip in and out quickly whilst writing your novel.
Twenty eight chapters cover all the key areas of punctuation and grammar, the punctuation of troublesome words—as, because, before, so, while, why and who, and troublesome verbs, conjunctions and prepositions—I lie, I lay and I lay low, was or were, may or might, on to or onto, in to or into, on board or onboard and a glossary explaining common terminology.
Covered also is how to lay out character thoughts that reflect inner thinking and feelings, how to move from a passive to active voice, and tips on developing your writing voice and style (including a break down of a famous author’s voice and style).
Application to Fiction Writing sections throughout give tips on the current trends in how punctuation and grammar are being used by today’s writers.
