After a quotation, should 'said' come before or after the name. Also is there a rule when one should be used as opposed to the other. Sometimes I would attach a phrase "...while they are doing such and such". Which do publishers prefer? I can imagine it would be very distracting to switch between them when having a conversation. Obviously, if a pronoun were to be used it would be "I said, she said, he said"
