A note from Linda ... I first heard about this book last year when I talked with Noah Lukeman at Book Expo America. Knowing what an excellent writer Noah is, I eagerly began the process of purchasing the book for the Club. I hope you like it as much as I do! Style by Noah Lukeman! Finally, a practical and easy-to-use guide to the art of punctuation written just for creative writers! Says Noah Lukeman in the book's introduction, 'This book is for the audience that needs it the most and yet for whom, ironically, a punctuation book has yet to be written: creative writers.' He understands that as a creative writer, you don't want to know every single use for the comma but you do need to know how to use it correctly in your work. In A Dash of Style, you'll learn about periods, commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, quotation marks, paragraph and section breaks, question marks, exclamation points, italics, ellipsis, and hyphens. Whew! And you'll get the chance to practice your newfound knowledge in very helpful end-of-chapter exercises. Isn't it time you bring your punctuation skills up to speed? A Dash of Style will show you how.
