Written -Not Spoken- Dialogue

Hi. I have noticed that James Ellroy when it comes to written texts (quoting a newspaper note, for example) adjusts the paragraph width by reducing it to both left and right. That allows him to keep all other conventions (italics for thoughts, titles of works, quotation marks in which what some people say are quoted in the same way as in dialogues, etc.) and the reader immediately understands that this is a subsection. Maybe this can help you. And personally I think Ellroy found that solution since it precisely comes from a time when there were only typewriters. :giggle:
