Submission Question

ctwriter · Oct 12, 2009

When sending an e-query, a synopsis and sample chapters in the body of the email, should they all be the same font?

I understand the query and synopsis can be Times New Roman, the manuscript should be courier or Times NR, but can or should they all be the same font? For example all Courier?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I always try to make the synopsis and chapters the same font, but I border on obsessive-compulsive and worry about little things that might be noticed. :tongue

I always use Courier.

I'm definitely obsessive compulsive. Thank you for responding. Should the query be the same font?

I don't know of any letter of law, so to speak, but I've always used one basic font for everything (e.g., manuscript, query, proposal, synopsis, chapters).

I would use the same font.

Thank you for your help. This is exactly what I wanted to know.

Sorry I didn't answer the question about the query as well, but I always sent my queries by email, so I didn't worry about the font. Guess I'm not as OCD as I thought.

I use TNR-12 for everything.

Same here. For the email itself, I use Arial-10. Don't know why, I just do. Seems to work well for me.
