past tense present

  • Remember that if you're writing in the present tense, don't shift to the past tense (or vice versa) unless you have a good reason to do so. For instance, in the sentences below there is no reason to switch from the present tense. This is especially true when writing papers about literature: wherever possible, stay in the present tense.
  • Remember that if you're referring to you, or we, or I, or one, try to remain consistently within the same case. One You should observe this carefully whenever you write.
  • In Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, we find the narrator to be one of the few successful characters in terms of moral development. However, even the narrator, you soon realize, is seriously flawed. [We've shifted from the first-person plural "we" (quite common when writing about literature) to the second-person, singular "you."]

    As a newbie author, you have no option but to self-publish unless you have reliable connections with publishers. "How to self publish" is the general wondering when an author nears the completion of his novel. There are different ways to do it - finding a printer, self-publishing as an eBook, by a Print on Demand (POD) or by a Vanity Press or Subsidy Publishing. There is a plethora of self-publishing companies and their directory can be found online, out of which some may be startups, whereas others are experienced publishers.Things to Consider While Self Publishing Your Novel
