Product Description
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? Punctuation reveals the writer. And punctuation never lies. This chapter is emblematic of the book in that it offers a close look at the paragraph and section breaks, two punctuation marks which are normally not thought of as punctuation marks?and yet they are two marks which, in the right hands, can enhance your work tremendously.

An interesting essay on paragraphs being punctuation and the effective use of paragraphs to bring a story to life. He presented a number of ideas I'll be using in my own writing.

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.

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 ...
