    Italics vs. Quotation Marks: The Eternal Struggle of How to Write a Book Title in an Essay

    The basic rule is: big things get italics, small things get quotes. Frankenstein (novel) = italics. "Introduction" (part of a book) = quotes. For The Lord of the Rings trilogy, italicize the whole series title. Digital/audiobook? Same rules apply. You've got this!

    How Many Paragraphs Are in an Essay? Is Five the Magic Number?

    The five-paragraph essay is training wheels, and your professor is telling you it's time to ride free. 😉 Here's the shift: instead of thinking "intro, 3 points, conclusion," think about logical flow.

    LSAT Argumentative Writing vs. College Essays: Am I Doing This Wrong?

    Ghostwriting: The Weirdest and Most Profitable Freelance Writing Niche I've Ever Tried

    Okay, this might sound strange, but I've been ghostwriting for two years, and I absolutely love it. 😂 What is ghostwriting? I write things—LinkedIn posts, articles, even book chapters—and someone else puts their name on them. I get paid, they get the credit, and nobody ever knows I existed. At...
