Overview

Every editor has seen it-a sentence staggering across the page, adjectives clinging like cheap jewelry and commas scattered like broken glass. Let's face it, grammar can be tricky! In Back Away From That Sentence, author and editor Saoirse Temple turns grammar rehab into an act of creative liberation. With wit, warmth, and a few well-placed red pens, she dismantles the myths that make writers fear their own words-proving that rules aren't cages, they're maps. This isn't a textbook. It's a literary intervention. From verb moods and dangling modifiers to rogue commas and runaway adjectives, Temple shows how to tame your sentences, trust your instincts, and wield grammar with style and confidence. Because writing clearly isn't about perfection-it's about meaning. And sometimes, the bravest thing a writer can do is... back away from that sentence.
