Manuscript Formatics

I would just like to say I looked around in the other forums before this post but didn't see anything with regards to this topic. If in fact there is a thread for it, I apologize for double posting.

Anyways, does any one have a website that discusses the formatics of sending out a manuscript? I'm interested in everything, from headings, cover letters, spacing, staple or paper clip, how wide should the margins be, should i indent every new paragraph or keep it blocked...etc? If you dont have a site...would you at least be able to answer the few questions I proposed here???

Thanks!

mss do not get stapled or paper clipped... only scripts are fastened in any way and they must be done per the mandatory industry method [2 brass brads in 3-holed paper, etc.]...

you can email me for good format guides... and help with all the details...

love and hugs, maia
