KEEP YOUR SUBMISSIONS OUT OF THE TRASH

Proper manuscript format can be a tricky thing. Every editor wants something slightly different. All of those Olde English fonts that came with your word processor have a hypnotic power that begs you to use them, even though no one can read them. Your work must look professional if you want editors to look at it for more than half a second. Proper Manuscript Format is the perfect place to start. No matter what your editor's personal preferences are, he'd have a hard time throwing out a manuscript that looked like this. William Shunn shows as well as tells us what a manuscript should look like upon submission. As to the content--well, that's your own responsibility.
