I wrote this book for the writers I met on goteenwriters.com who said they wanted such a book. I hope this helps, you guys. Keep on writing!
I had the chance to help beta-read/proofread this little book and I absolutely loved it! PUNCTUATION 101 is practical, succinct, fun, and easy to read. I zoomed right through it! I learned a few things, and I think it will be a very helpful book to refer to in the future. :)
This short little book gets right to the point. All those obscure rules and odd quirks of punctuation that give you fits are explained in quick, concise sections, written in a clear, accessible, and dare I say engaging way (if grammar can be engaging). All of which makes this is a tremendous resource for the fiction writer. It's got a great index for future reference, lots of examples, and answers just about every little niggling question you're likely to have.
