Title Page of a Novel
This page illustrates manuscript form for the title page of a a book manuscript.
These manuscript sample pages are based on typewritten manuscripts, but they should serve as guide to settings in a word processor that will produce acceptable hard copy. Most of this formatting is not appropriate for files for electronic submissions.
The margins have been cut off so the page will be viewable on most text browsers. The inch measurements are from the left edge of the paper. In the scale, the | represents a margin setting and a ^ represents a tab. Comments and line numbers in braces, {}, do not appear in the manuscript.
