Good Grammar 101: The Essential Guide

Good Grammar might seem old fashioned in a day and age when LOL shows up in newspapers, when best-selling authors regularly splice their commas, and where your Facebook wall is filled with seventy-two misused ellipses.

However, agents and editors still care about grammar, and they will reject you if you show you don't understand grammar rules.

With this Grammar Guide, you will have the chance to use The Write Practice's model of deliberate practice to improve your grammar skills in less time.
