advice
I am beginning to write a book. I'm going to type it on Microsoft Word but I don't know the format I should use. Can someone tell me the font and text size I should type it in and margins and stuff like that. Thank you.
I don't need ideas on the book, I just need to know how I should type it up.
Thank you :)
You really don't have to worry about format until you've finished writing it and are ready to submit it to a publisher. The publisher will let you know what format they recommend, based on the length of your book, the target audience, etc. Once they let you know, you can reformat it however they suggest. (Since it's on Word, that's as easy as a couple of clicks). Of course, if you're printing/publishing the book yourself, you can do it however you want!
(Rating: 5) ah, ok. good to know. I just thought that i would format it from the begining but i guess that would work. :)
