If we have requested a full manuscript, please follow these guidelines in preparing you work for mailing:

  1. Use twelve-point type throughout the manuscript. Courier or Times New Roman fonts are acceptable. Editors prefer Courier.
  2. Double space the entire manuscript.
  3. Number each page consecutively, with each page number appearing in the upper right hand corner. Do not separately number the pages for each chapter.
  4. Start each chapter on a new page.
  5. Place a header on each page identifying yourself and the name of the work in the following format: "author/name of manuscript."
  6. Do not bind the manuscript or place it in a three-ring binder.
  7. If you want your manuscript returned in the event that it is not accepted for representation, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage to cover the cost of mailing. If you prefer that we destroy the manuscript in lieu of returning it to you, please make such a request in writing.
