I never know this.  Should I write  OK  or  okay ?  Keep changing my mind.  Advice please!

I followed two books recently to see what they wrote. One was ok all the way through and the other (kate Thompson) was okay all the way through so I guess as long as you're consistent... I have opted for okay as Ok looks weird and ok doesn't look long enough!

Like Jaxx says, it's the consistency thing that counts ... and also publisher preference. I read somewhere that it absolutely must be "okay" so that it's a word but someone else I know found an article that said it should be "OK". I then did a bit more research and found it's publisher preference.
 
I use "okay" but I have some text messages in my book and use "OK" in them because that's what you'd put in a text.
