Since it has grammatical errors and gaps such as punctuation and lowercase that should have been capitalized, it is poorly written. So have you read the story? Have you downloaded the novel in ebook and what would the result be? Why is not clear to me! I read and vote on a story. I've also found typos in books published with Mondadori or Rizzoli but if the book is good and the story is there, well guys I don't care.. So there are errors and so far we are. I had to reread it and correct it and so far we are. But the story? Because I'm aiming for that. A grammatically well written text that is a big pain for me ends up in the bin. Have you ever analyzed the story? Have you seen if it respects the canons of the hero's journey? Are there the three blocks? Does he fascinate you? Does it intrigue you? How is the style? This piece was written by the author of the novel that Rizzoli – yes, that Rizzoli, it is not a homonym – published on Amazon for 4.99 euros.
From this comment it can be deduced that grammar - mistaken for a set of typos - is a secondary aspect of writing. History comes first. Of course, I also think that story comes first, but because I consider grammar as an essential element of any writing. The function of grammar in a story Grammatical rules are nothing more than rules of language, and also of communication, Phone Number Data which were not invented at random, but with a precise purpose: to make the reader understand a text because they define the very functioning of the language. In the excerpt of the work published on 20lines, many gaps were noted, including new lines without the use of capital letters, missing spaces after punctuation, dialogues one after the other, missing commas, etc. All this, writing style aside, only denotes writing that is not yet mature, not yet ready for publication. If such a novel had been sent to any publisher, it would have been trashed.
We all know it. We therefore have to ask ourselves what pushed a publisher like Rizzoli to publish that work. I downloaded the excerpt from Amazon and saw that they corrected those errors, although a double punctuation, typically cartoonish, remained (?!). Editing and proofreading don't solve problems Otherwise anyone could publish. In that case, I'm sorry, but space was given to an author who doesn't know the basics of writing: the main grammatical rules that we all learned in elementary school. That ebook was put up for sale and also at a price that I don't consider low, given that many self-publishing authors - and those who know how to write in Italian - stay under two euros. So I wonder: why wasn't there a proofreading , at least? The attitude of the “Prima Donna” writer It is not the first time that I have noticed a prima donna attitude in some authors, an almost arrogance, a placing oneself above criticism just because one is there, in an arena that will see the author published by a large publishing house.
