submitting short story collections

[mesh138]

New to the board. Glad to have found it. I'm interested in submitting a collection of ten short stories, but am having trouble finding formatting information. Anyone know a thing or two about it?

Generally, if the publisher takes anthologies the rules for a single author collection are just the same as for a novel.

Formatting for short story collections is pretty much identical to formatting for any other type of fiction. Courier 12, one inch margins, and 25 lines per page.

Just put the short stories in the order you think they should appear.

It all depends on the particular publisher, but ten short stories may not be enough, unless they're very long.
