Here��s some advice that more editors ought to put a little bow on and give to more writers: the difference between wrap up, wrapup and wrap-up.

Wrap up is a verb that means to place colorful paper around or to finish up. For example, Dawn decided to wrap up her sister��s birthday gift in gold paper or We��ll wrap up the investigation here in just a few minutes.

Wrapup, however, is a noun. It refers to a brief statement that summarizes the most important information. To wit, The news anchor gave her wrapup of the day��s news at 11 p.m.

Wrap-up is an alternate way of spelling wrapup.
