A Dash Of Style Paragraph and Section Breaks
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend This is a pivotal chapter from my forthcoming book, A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of Punctuation. In the book, I aim to discuss punctuation in the broadest sense: how has punctuation been used (or not used) by the great literary masters, and how can it make you a better writer?

- Taking Punctuation to the Next Level
- Noah Lukeman's book has great value for both personal and professional communication. It's like owning a magical tool that translates vague thinking into precise action. There's nothing like it on the market.

- THIS ARTICLE IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED ... A GREAT HELP!
- As a 40-year journalist (columnist/editor/publisher), and now author of three books, I thought I knew it all (famous last words). I was always fairly confident of my punctuation, grammar, POV, and the various techniques of writing, but frankly admit that I often hesitated when it came to paragraph and section breaks.
So when I saw the title of Mr. Lukeman's Amazon Short, I thought: AH-HA--that's exactly what I need!
I downloaded that sucker quicker than a cursor-blink--and am I ever glad I did! I learned more in those few pages than I learned from more than forty writing books in my collection. As a result, with the current book I'm writing, I feel much more confident of where, when and how to end my graphs and section breaks.
Thanks, Mr. Lukeman. Now I DO know it all. LOL ... - 2006-05-02, 16 of 17 people found this review helpful, Rated:
