How can you write a manuscript?

Question: How can you write a manuscript!?

I nearly finished my novel right!? I just need to manuscript it!. Is it fine to have size 18 for the chapter headers and size 10!.5 as the writing text!? As well as having the font as Courier!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I suggest you do some more research!. Your novel IS your manuscript!. also, 10!.5 is not an okay font size!. It needs to be 12, or many publishing professionals will not even consider you!. You're fine with the Courier, though some will tell you to go with Times New Roman (check submission guidelines to wherever you want to publish)!. 18 is not okay for chapter headers!. Use 12-point as well, and capitalize them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

eikyuulo is correct!. The only thing I'll add is another font you can use is Ariel!.

If you didn't know this before writing, I have to question what else you didn't know about plot, dialogue, etc!. much less about editing content, grammar & punctuation!. Writing is a craft, not something done on a whim!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
