You probably laughed at this sentence, but are you able to tell a colleague or a client why it is faulty, what grammatical term is used to describe it, and how to fix it? If you need to learn, relearn, or brush up on some aspects of grammar, join Alice Levine for an amusing and educational review of common errors in grammar, including agreement and antecedent mishaps, misplaced modifiers, missteps in restrictive and nonrestrictive phrases and clauses, faulty pronouns, and comma blunders.
For 20 years, Alice Levine held the position of copy chief and freelance services coordinator at Westview Press. Today, as sole proprietor of Alice Levine Editorial Services, she works with publishers, writers, academics, literary agents, and business and professional organizations. Alice delights in sharing her passion for publishing, editing, proofreading, and the serial comma as well as the joy of working with words and writers.
