Polishing the "PUGS": Punctuation, Usage, Grammar, and Spelling

Tips for Writers
In this book I share some of the most common mechanical errors I see in the manuscripts I edit. Contains rules and spellings for books (based on The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, the US book publishing industry's standard references) as well as the different rules and spellings for articles (using The Associated Press Stylebook and Webster's New World College Dictionary, the industry standard references for newspapers and journalistic magazines).

Don't let "PUGS" errors decrease your chances of being accepted by a publisher!
