Synopsis: In “Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips for Writers: The Ultimate Frugal Reference Guide for Avoiding Word Trippers and Crafting Gatekeeper-Perfect Copy”, book publicist, journalist, marketer, editor, and retailer, Carolyn Howard-Johnson picks the trip-you-up words that her clients struggle with and puts them in a quick reference guide light enough and small enough to be used as an quickie gift that the recipient can tuck into a glove compartment or purse to keep their homonym skills fresh and explains why following grammar rules assiduously isn’t always the best choice for writers.
Critique: An absolute ‘must’ for aspiring authors seeking publication for their work, and having substantial value for even the more experienced writer, “Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips for Writers: The Ultimate Frugal Reference Guide for Avoiding Word Trippers and Crafting Gatekeeper-Perfect Copy” is the ideal DIY instructional guide and ‘how to’ reference directly addressing the most common failing that authors (especially self-published authors) have — an insufficient editing of their work.
An absolute ‘must’ for aspiring authors seeking publication for their work, and having substantial value for even the more experienced writer…
