Dialogue tags stay outside the quotation marks, while the punctuation stays inside the quotation marks. (I.e. “There was someone here,” Lucca said.), if the dialogue tag comes before the dialogue, the comma appears before the first quotation mark (i.e. Lucca said, “There was someone here.”, if the dialogue ends with an exclamation point or a question mark, the tags that follow begin in lowercase. The dialogue punctuation still goes inside the quotation marks. (i.e. “There was someone here!” she said.);

Use single quotes when quoting something within the dialogue. If a character is quoting something or somebody else within their dialogue, use single quotation marks to indicate that the character is quoting someone else.

Use a new oaragraph to indicate a new speaker any time you change speakers, you should begin a new paragraph with an indent;

Start with a lowercase letter if action interrupts dialogue;

Em Dashes should be used to indicate interruption.
