| Publisher's Style
I thought I would open this thread as I have recently found conflicting views on the user of grammar and layout (as preferred by publishers).
In my studies, I learnt about the difference in style guides between publishers and some of the newer conventions. These range from, fantasy always needs a prologue, penguin now want dialogue in its own paragraphs, don’t put commas before conjunctions joining short sentences, one space after a full stop (period), not two... I could go on.
The only thing I know for sure is to be consistent in whatever you do, but I do feel I would be happier being consistent with preferred conventions.
