Joe Diorio has been a writer all his life. As a high school student, he was a stringer for a local weekly newspaper. Later, he worked as a newspaper reporter, freelance writer, corporate speechwriter, and as a public relations professional for agencies and colleges.
Joe’s presentation is for anyone who has ever wondered whether ‘also’ should follow or precede the verb; if there’s a difference between ‘preventive’ or ‘preventative’; or if the Oxford comma is as important as some think it is. He provides relief for many common grammar anxieties. He also leaves the audience with the confidence that (1) writing is not natural, but (2) it isn’t impossible to do it well.
