    How are people presenting Text (SMS) conversations?

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by Francis de Aguilar, Oct 31, 2020.

    I have several SMS conversations in my WIP. I am wondering if there is now an accepted norm? how do you do it?

    I just use italics, with descriptive text around it to make it clear this is a text conversation. From my book Under the Knife:

    If there are a group of people texting, I've used their names to be clear who is texting what. This is from Gravity, after a scandalous post from TMZ about Jaeden, the character being texted:
