A quiz to test your skillz.
Test your grammar chops.

I wrote this quiz to be promotional material for my editing business (www.movetothewrite.com). Originally, it came with me to a book fair. At the beginning of the quiz, I included a note that read: If you answer 6 or more of the following questions correctly, you will get a signed copy of The Oddity, by Kat Hawthorne, at half price. It seems very few people are capable of passing up a deal, and also, very few people are capable of passing a grammar quiz! If you have any questions, or if you'd like to discuss any of the answers, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Good luck!
