For now focus on getting the story down to paper/computer document. Then, for manuscript formatting use this site: http://www.writerswrite.com/journal/dec98/shunn.htm Good luck with your writing.

ashley, the best site I've found for format is this one: http://www.writerswrite.com/journal/dec98/shunn.htm Summing it up: Give any potential agent or publisher exactly whta their submission guidelines ask for. If they don't specify, use Courier 12; one-inch margins on all four sides; a header with your last name, a one-word version of your title, and a page number at the top of each page; no bold or italics (underline what would be in italics); double-spaced lines; tabbed paragraphs. Start each chapter about 1/3 of the way down the page. Page one of chapter one is different, including your contact information and the rights you're offering. Don't worry about acknowledgments at this point.
