Quit thinking of yourself: I vs. me

Maybe some writers are just too self-absorbed to get this one right. All too often when editing, I see sentences like The boss handed the project off to Laura and I.

What if Laura wasn��t part of the equation, though? You wouldn��t write The boss handed the project off to I. Instead, you��d write The boss handed the project off to me.

If using the word to, use me rather than I. If ��you�� are the subject of the sentence, then use I as in I handed the project off to Laura and that flunky writer.

Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
