Now, for a couple of books I've read that I can highly recommend: It was the best of sentences, It was the worst of sentences and Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies by June Casagrande. The girl can make learning more about writing fun!
And for a quick read--one you can put into a brief case and read in snippets--try my Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips: The Ultimate Frugal Booklet for Avoiding Word Trippers and
Crafting Gatekeeper-Perfect Copy.

Hi Carolyn,
Double exposure on the video where both of you are talking at once. Don't know if this is my computer error or on your end.
Happy Holidays

Thanks for the mention, Carolyn. But I'm compelled to add what a great resource I believe your "Great Little Last-minute Editing Tips" book is. It's truly helpful and handy for writers determined to look as professional as possible.
Happy New Year!
