Tips for Editing Your Posts

Everyone is doing a great job creating their book review blogs!  Here are some tips to help you edit your posts:

• Read each post aloud to check for repeated words, run-on sentences, and other errors.
• Capitalize all proper nouns, including names of people, places, books, and specific historical events.
• Example: the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel
• Capitalize the first word in the title of a book/movie, as well as all other "big" words in a book/movie title.  Also, remember to italicize OR underline book/movie titles, using the same style throughout all your posts.
• Example: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
• Copy-and-paste entries into Microsoft Word to check word count.  All entries except the poem must be at least 150 words.

Happy writing!
