Editors are very sensitive to the use of modifiers, so seeing Lukeman's explanations (and doing his end-of-chapter exercises) will help. Also, David Michael Kaplan's <i>Revision</i> will be very useful. It'll alert you to the mischievous presence of participial phrases, something else editors will pick up on and base their judgments on. Best of luck! You have a fecund blog here, congratulations on that.F.
