Dashes, Parentheses, Brackets, Ellipses, Italics, and Hyphens
Welcome to Book 9: Dashes, Parentheses, Brackets, Ellipses, and Hyphens , a book that teaches how to use all those other marks that appear on our keyboards.
To become the writer you were meant to be, you’ll need to use all the tools at your disposal. This book teaches the need-to-know situations involving the need for some of these lesser-used punctuation marks.
In this book you’ll
—how parentheses enclose a sentence-within-a-sentence
—how to use brackets while quoting
—when to use—and not to use—ellipses
—when to hyphenate—and not to hyphenate—compound adjectives
But mostly you’ll learn about the star of the show—dashes. This book teaches dashes as strong commas, with compound sentences, with internal and external commas, as colons or reverse-directional colons, to create dramatic pauses, as parentheses, to emphasize repeated words, and with appositives.
Yes, dashes do all that.

The author is a master of clear explanation
I love this book. I'm a non-native English speaker and I always struggle with proper English punctuation. The author explains many rules very clearly. Everything here is logical. The book is extremely well planned and structured. I've read several books on punctuation, but it's this book which have made so many things clear and simple. Thank you for your awesome work, dear Author :)
