Do commas confuse you and do colons leave you clueless? Do you know the basics of punctuation but run into occasional challenges where you don't know what to do and don't know where to find the answers?
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 sprinkles of humor. It contains several topics not found in similar books, such as an extensive chapter on formatting dialogue.
This book 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 when you can deviate from the conventions and bend the rules and when it's inadvisable to do so.
This second edition, completely revised and expanded, will turn you into an expert, give you confidence, and have other writers coming to you for advice.
Punctuation for Fiction Writers will ensure that all the raves are about your story, not misplaced commas.
