As a freelancer I have often consulted books and websites for grammatical advice. Nancy Tuten is the best I've found. She is the only one who anticipated my questions with straightforward answers and clear examples. I look forward to consulting Get It Write Online every time I am confronted by a grammatical quandary.

Nancy (Tuten) makes what could be a dry subject very interesting. She works to make the content relevant. The course was excellent.
