Core editing skills for writers and editors

​​This fiction-editing guide shows authors and editors how to use different types of punctuation in a novel. I go beyond publishing-industry conventions and teach you how to play with punctuation so that your prose is clear but laced with mood and rhythm too.

​
  • Commas
  • Apostrophes
  • Semi-colons
  • Colons
  • En dashes, em dashes and hyphens
  • Round brackets
  • Quotation marks (speech marks)
  • Ellipses
  • Full points (or full stops)
  • Exclamation marks
