English grammar becomes much less intimidating once someone explains what is actually going on. That's the approach Sarah Mitchell brings to her work. She specializes in grammar, sentence structure, confusing word choices, prepositions, spelling and word forms, with a particular interest in the questions people repeatedly encounter in everyday writing. Sarah doesn't believe a grammar explanation needs to sound like a textbook. She starts with the answer, shows the difference in real sentences and then explains the rule behind it. When two words seem interchangeable but aren't, she wants readers to understand exactly where the distinction comes from in practical usage. She is especially interested in the grey areas of English—the places where a rule depends on context, register or the way people actually use the language. Her editorial standard is accuracy first, clarity second, and unnecessary complexity never.
