Please follow the instructions below in formatting your manuscript. These guidelines help ensure that your submission will be easily readable, that all of the pages will stay together, that our committees can estimate the size of the book if published, and that we can respond to your submission once we have made a decision.
- PAPER AND BINDING: Print black ink on white paper. The paper should have 1-inch margins and be 8 1⁄2 inches x 11 inches. Do not bind.
- TITLE PAGE: In the upper left-hand corner of the title page, put your name (no pen names, please!), mailing address, email, and phone number. A third of the way down the page, center the book title. At the bottom of the page, include the date submitted.
- TEXT: Use a header on every page; include your last name and the book title (shortened for the header, if necessary).
- You may use the font of your choice, but please make sure it is a readable font (for example, Times New Roman, Garamond, Palatino, or Courier New). Please print the font at 12 point size, or thereabouts. Although use of italics, bolding, or all caps is okay, please do not put the entire text into any of these three formats.
- Please make sure that each page is numbered. Do not restart pagination for each new chapter or section.
- Please do not add an extra space between paragraphs.
