Manuscript Formatting Tips
Cait London © 2004
1. One tiny, but handy FYI: In manuscript form, designate space break by centering #
or ### between segments. This retains the space breaks; without this, the segment
may end at the bottom of the page and start the new one at the top of the next.
Therefore, no indication of space breaks.
2. Design a landscape form, divided into two columns, to create a
faux galley with left and right pages. At full ms editing stage (I do many
throughout the process), bring up the blank, insert the chapter, and print for editing
purposes. Do not save in this format. After hand editing, correct mss, print,
and send to publisher.
