Synopsis

Writing a book is difficult. Everyone knows that. But editing it properly may be even more difficult. Don't try to do it yourself. You'll be sorry if you do. But there are a lot of things you can do to prepare your book for the editors and get it in the best shape possible. In this book, you'll learn to look for crutch words, unnecessary words, redundancies, improper sayings, and you'll learn many of the tougher rules on comma usage. We also touch on dialogue tags, capitalization in dialogue, and writing using all five senses. If you practice the examples used in this book, you will improve some portion of your writing. I guarantee it.

About this title

About the Author

Giacomo Giammatteo is the author of gritty crime dramas about murder, mystery, and family. And he also writes nonfiction books including the No Mistakes Careers series as well as books about grammar and publishing.  When Giacomo isn’t writing, he’s helping his wife take care of the animals on their sanctuary. At last count they had forty animals—seven dogs, one horse, six cats, and twenty-five pigs. Oh, and one crazy—and very large—wild boar, who takes walks with Giacomo every day and happens to also be his best buddy.
