Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript - Edition 2
You
work on the story, write it, and send it off to the agent thinking you did
everything right. It gets returned (if you're lucky) unread. Why? You didn't
follow the format. That's the first sign an agent looks for, that you are aware
of style, format, and form that are industry standards.
Formatting is not the place to be different, do that in your story. Agents and
editors for all media have requirements that are easy to follow, but you gotta
know which one is required for which medium. Get this book. It's all in here:
query and cover letters; title pages, tables of contents, and outlines. Even
author bios and endorsement pages, and of course, the all-important synopses
have their own formatting styles. There's even standardization for reply cards,
fax and online formatting, and cover pages. Don't sabotage your terrific script
or novel, learn how to format and submit your manuscript to be READ!

When deciding to
write a book choosing between fiction and non-fiction writing can be
challenging.
A publisher is
more likely to publish a non-fiction book especially if the author is an
unknown.
Another good
thing about writing non-fiction books and articles is that the market is
endless. Whether Self-Publishing
a book, writing articles and e-books or trying to obtain a publisher the
market is endless.
Popular
non-fiction includes how to information and books, self-help, politics,
weight loss and more. If you are an expert on a subject it's time to learn
how to write that book that's inside of you. |
