Manuscript Formatting Guidelines

Please double check that your manuscript is correctly formatted in order to ensure that your manuscript assessment is not delayed. Our formatting video provides instructions on how to create double space, 12 point font and page numbers.  If you are using a different programme, we highly recommend that you print out our PDF sample page and compare it to a printed page from your own manuscript.

If you are unsure about your formatting, please call us before printing it. We want to save you the hassle and expense of having to reprint it.

For more information about submitting a synopsis and cover letter, please see our Questions Answered page.
