Punctuation Guide
This e-book is an A-Z of punctuation marks written in clear, concise language. As with all aspects of language, punctuation does not remain static. Once punctuation was closely attuned to the spoken word and commas indicated pauses. These days, commas are more closely attuned to the written word and many writers use fewer commas than in the past.

Testimonials
‘Mary Morel has written the most user-friendly guide to punctuation I have read. It’s a field fraught with complications – debate about the correct use of the apostrophe, for example, can be murderous! She has covered this difficult ground serenely and in the most straightforward way. Her guide is a model of clarity and brevity and is essential reading for all writers, even though it is aimed specifically at the business sector.’
Bert Hingley, Editorial Consultant
‘This guide is terrific. I will doubtless be referring to it frequently. I’m a big fan of your descriptive approach – it makes much more sense to treat language as the organic entity it so clearly is. Plus the eye-rolling, muttering and grumbling of a prescriptive type is so tiresome.’
Samantha Leader, Director – Editorial, Flying Solo, Australia’s micro business community, www.flyingsolo.com.au
‘Mary takes a modern approach to grammar and makes this sometimes confusing topic easy to understand. Unlike most books about writing and grammar, her e-books and other practical resources are written in clear, plain English and are easy to use. They’re a great guide for anyone who’d like to improve their editing and writing skills.’
