Using Grammar to Strengthen Our Voice — Guest: Julie Glover
For fiction writers, grammar serves as a flexible, stylistic tool for managing pacing, voice, and emotional impact rather than adhering strictly to nonfiction rules. It emphasizes effective dialogue punctuation, consistent tense usage, and using sentence structure to build tension, allowing for intentional rule-breaking.
Resources such as the Busy Writer's Guide by Marcy Kennedy and Chris Saylor, available at Amazon and Books A Million , or C.S. Lakin's Say What? on Amazon , offer practical advice for enhancing narrative flow and character voice.
