hi, quick question - what exactly is the official manuscript format again? Courier New, double spaced, but what size font? 10? 11? 12?
I have a little over 40,000 words, so calculating pages (250 words per page is standard, right?) gives me 160 pages. Yet actually putting my story in Courier New, 12 pt font, doubled spaced gives me a full 200 pages. This seems like a pretty big discrepency. I know word count is more important, but still... Anyway, I'm just trying to learn all I can about this process, so if anybody can provide a little info, I'd appreciate it!
