Layout novels etc

Post by André »

Could someone make a template for me that I can use for my novelwriting? I still have problems with all the technical stuf... I was thinking on a template that includes the different kind of headings (like tittle, chapter, body text ,etc) and also the margins and header( with pagenumber and title-author info )-footer configuration that is asked by a publisher when sending inthe manuscript.
Would be great!

Thanks...

Greetings--
Each publisher might have their own requirements for manuscript design and layout.
You should ask a few of them directly.
However you will find tons of novel writing tips on the Web.
You will find a particularly relevant page on "Manuscript Format" at
