Description

Are you uncertain when to use affect or effect? Loath or loathe? Compliment or complement? Do you struggle with character development, or scratch your head when it comes to structuring nonfiction articles, proposals or manuscripts? Be Your Own Editor offers a crash course in grammar basics, starting with punctuation, proper use of the dreaded apostrophe and how to identify common words that are frequently misused. It moves on to ways of devising stronger characters and background settings, as well as organizing nonfiction material. If you know that the quality of your writing is good, but you question your grammar skills and ability to fully develop your story, this short, reader-friendly manual is for you.
