Need Help with Grammar

    Hi there,

    I need some help. I do a lot of copy-writing for work. However, my editor/person who edits the work that I write is leaving.

    Is there any book/source on the Internet so that I can brush up on my own grammar skills?

    I would prefer to be self-reliant re grammar so if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    Hi NYC Diva. There is a book called 'Eats, shoots and leaves' that deals with grammar and punctuation and I've been told it is an excellent guide. I cant remember the authors name but you'd have no problem finding that out on the internet as apparently it's quite famous. Just don't do what I did years ago, which was to buy it and never bother opening the cover! lol

    Thanks All - I had heard of that Eats, Shoots book...but I'll definitely check out the two of them.

    Thanks!
