I'm writing a story about mental telepathy. In it, I have telepathic dialog between two characters. First let me say that I've been writing internal dialog i.e., thoughts, using italics. Example: > _The poor man's gonna die of fright,_ he thought. When I write telepathic dialog, I've also been italicizing it; this way the reader can differentiate between verbal dialog and telepathic dialog. I would like to know if I should use quote marks on the italicized telepathic dialog. I would appreciate knowing whether or not I should italicize the telepathic dialog and if I should use quotations as well.
