ha!

Just finished the editing on a small 2500 word story for a new imprint, Aussie Gems and guess what? Had to correct nearly every bit of dialogue punctuation. I clearly have got into the habit of putting a comma after my dialogue tags whether or not it's the end of that sentence! So, don't despair - just keep on checking that you're doing the right thing.

  2. I am looking for a good document/book, whatever to check formatting against. Do you recommend anything?
