Ok guys, I know there are a few ways to deal with this. Italics are one, speech marks are another, or both.
For those not acquainted with my ms, there is a fair bit of telepathic communication, for which I used italics to begin with. This led to an over-use, so I changed the font to differentiate between the voices.
I'm not talking about inner monologues or passing thoughts, I've used italics for these. The other parts of this story have italics for telepathic speech, as it's much more sparse, so I don't want to confuse my readers from part 1 to 2 & 3.
I've consulted other forums for help and they said to go with italics, but I'm not sure.
What say you, my literary brethren? To italicize or not?
