Stories sent back "Dialogue"

[badnews79]

Hi All

My stories are often sent back due to dialogue formatting. Am I alone in this ?

I have read the essay "How to Make Characters Talk" and gone back and reformatted things.
Would someone be willing to look over my story and give some feedback on the dialogue?
I have tried some editors from the volunteer editor list but had no responses.
Thanks

It's a common rejection. Show us a short sample of your dialogue. You're probably coming unstuck on punctuation, or different speakers in the same paragraph. Once you sort out proper punctuation, you'll be fine.
