This template is formatted for submission of your manuscript to a publisher. Styles have been created to keep the font and spacing formatting properly applied to your text. Pages have one inch margins on all sides, and the text is double-spaced an in the Times New Roman font, which is a fixed-space font. Paragraphs are indented five spaces, or one-half inch, from the left and are left-justified.

You should submit your manuscript with an approximate word count in the upper left-hand corner of the first page (rounded to the nearest one hundred words). You can use Word’s convenient word count feature to get this number by choosing Word Count from the Proofing section of the Review menu.

Keep in mind while writing your manuscript that you should follow each sentence with two spaces. Also, spell out numbers as words, do not hyphenate words that do not ordinarily contain a hyphen, and use underlining instead of italics. These are editors’ preferences which make reading your manuscript easier.
