Manuscript formatter
Applies standard manuscript format and gives you a Word-compatible file: title page, double spacing, indents and running heads.
Title page details
Your manuscript
The file opens in Word, Pages and Google Docs with the formatting already applied:
one inch margins, double spacing, half inch first line indents, a title page, and a
Surname / TITLE / page running head. Formatting happens in your browser, so the text is never uploaded.

No extra blank line between paragraphs, and no tabs. The indent is part of the paragraph style,
which is what stops the layout collapsing when an editor changes the font.
