Practice Proper Punctuation

Punctuation encompasses a set of symbols that are used in the English language to help readers understand the meaning of the sentences they’re reading. Punctuation clarifies pause points, end of sentences, quotes, questions, and also when words have been intentionally left out. Imagine sentences with no punctuation. Reading a narrative, article, or even a short paragraph would be confusing and chaotic without periods, commas, and question marks, etc. The clear intent of the author might be lost without those little symbols.

New writers should brush up on punctuation and understand when and where to use which symbols.

I co-founded and managed a successful author and writer group on Long Island for five years. During events with publishers and authors I learned what matters, what agents are looking for, and the benefits and pitfalls of traditional publishing vs. self-publishing.

I've gained a lot of tips and tidings on my writing journey and want to share what I know.

Besides my passion for writing, I'm a fitness enthusiast, and I love coffee, chocolate, and animals. I'm mom to two amazing young men, and I live on Long Island with my husband, four zany cats, and the sweetest dog ever.

Whether you're new to writing, ready to query, or about to submit your manuscript, welcome, you've come to the right place.
