My editing advice column, Ask Dr. Editor, is now available through UniversityAffairs.ca. The third Ask Dr. Editor question comes from a literature scholar who wants to ensure their voice isn’t overpowered by the quotations they include in their manuscript:
I chose my academic field – modernist literature – because I love the language that the best novelists use. I’ve heard, though, that I shouldn’t close my paragraphs with a quotation. I want to, because a well-turned phrase can often crystallize my overarching argument. What do you say?
