Over in the FAQ section, I've posted a list of manuscript formatting terms and how they're used in the book industry. If you're submitting your very first story or novel, I highly recommend that you learn from the collected wisdom of your Moderators! (We spent WEEKS writing this thread! :) )

Thank you so much! I've just read thru the thread, and it's invaluable!

It's also answered questions I had -- I feel so much better now that I don't have to bug people about the simple stuff that I figure everyone "just knows" ... but that I don't. Well, didn't. I do now ;) .

Your time and hard work is much appreciated :).

Thanks!

Thanks for the writing lesson in formatting your manuscript. You know, one thinks they know everything until they run upon someone like you,--who really does know everything!

You're great. Thanks for sharing.
