I've just received my first-ever request for a partial by email. The agent wants me to forward the material by email, of course. My question is: should the emailed sample pages be in standard manuscript format (double-spaced, Courier font, etc.)? Or should they be single-spaced format, as in a printed book?
I know the requirements for submitting by snail-mail, but this is the first request for partial I've ever gotten by email. And yeah, "call them up and ask them" is an option, of course, but I'd prefer to at least give them the appearance that I know what I'm doing. You folks who've emailed partial manuscripts -- how did you format the sample pages?
Thanks in advance.
