Full title-Beyond the Style Manual. Just to be clear-writing what you mean by Lynn McNamee

What a fantastic and concise guide to pinpoint issues in scripts that just don't seem to fit quite right.
The guide is a very succinct summary of how to spot misplaced or dangling modifiers and participles, vague antecedents and in what manner to address paragraphing correctly. There are hints as to methodology to correct the problems from the many examples offered. Each section also presents a quiz with answers to ensure the reader has understood the specifics.
The writing style of this guide is clear and easy to follow. I liked the fact that not just one correction was offered at times so that many ways of fixing sentences was offered. Even seasoned editors and writers need a bit of brushing up every now and then, and this handy little guide looks to be part of a great series able to do that.
