Ok, I'm stuck with something. I'm writing a book and I am using the dialog line because I come from a country where that is how we write dialog.
Example:
- Hello, she said. - Hi, he answered. Now since I moved into an english talking country I noticed the quotation marks. "Hello", she said. "Hi", he answered.
I looked everywhere on web but couldn't find the term "dialog line" in english nor an explanation for both. I wonder if my book will be refused by publishers only because I'm using the dialog line. Does anyone know the difference of usage between continents or something?
