I don’t know how many times I’ve gotten points knocked off of a paper’s score because of hyphen misuse.  Here are a few golden rules:

  • If you aren’t sure a compound noun is two words, look it up!  The dictionary is one of the best friends you could ever have.  If your new best friend doesn’t have the word, use a hyphen.
  • When using more than one adjective as a single thought, use a hyphen to separate them before the noun.
  • If you can correctly use ‘and’ between two adjectives, do so and skip the hyphen.
  • For numbers, always hyphenate the compound numerals when writing them out.

Those are a few of the rules that won’t steer you wrong.

This is IT.  Senior year at your college/university is coming to a close.  You’ve “busted your hump” getting in all of your work, getting financial clearance for graduation, all ducks are in a row.

 

The last thing on your list, the dissertation has to be completed.  You’ve already done your research, it’s solid, and you’ve stayed up for hours writing your first draft.  At this point, you don’t want to look at it anymore, let alone make corrections.

 

We understand.  The team at Writing It Right For You will help you with grammar, spelling, usage and helping to show your paper with the potential it has.  First, second and third drafts (could be more) will be reviewed meticulously and any changes are sent to you for your approval.  Although we are a writing service we want to be sure your thoughts and opinions are ‘heard’ loud and clear.

 

Our pricing is results-driven as opposed to hourly rates.  At Writing It Right For You, we are happy to work directly with you.  Contact us for your free 30 minute consultation.
