What really goes on inside a sentence? What is your subject, where is your verb, what is its tense, where is your modifier, and why does it matter? Where do you need a comma, and where do you not? Why are dashes and semicolons so misunderstood? When is it which and when is it that? In The Little Green Grammar Book, Mark Tredinnick asks and answers the tough grammar questions, big and small, with the same verve and authority readers encountered in The Little Red Writing Book. The Little Green Grammar Book does for grammar what The Little Red Writing Book did for style. It will have you writing like a writer in no time.

Mark Tredinnick is a celebrated Australian writer and writing teacher. The father of five, Mark lives with his wife Jodie along the Wingecarribee, on Gundungurra Country, southwest of Sydney. His writing, both poetry and prose, is widely published, translated and read across the world. Mark's honours include two Premier's Prizes, the Calibre Essay Prize, the Montreal, Cardiff, Newcastle, Blake, Ron Pretty, and ACU poetry prizes. The Little Red Writing Book, first published in 2006, and The Little Green Grammar Book (2008), along with his teaching over thirty years, have influenced the craft of a generation of writers, and in recognition of that, in 2020, Mark received an Order of Australia Medal for services to literature and education. Mark's many books include A Place on Earth, The Blue Plateau, Fire Diary, A Gathered Distance, Walking Underwater, A Beginner's Guide, House of Thieves, Bright Crockery Days, and Chain of Ponds. Mark is also the Managing Editor of 5 Islands Press.
