          Most types of writing—novels, 
              plays and screenplays—have very specific requirements for 
              manuscripts. Learn them and use them. If you intend to submit your 
              work to an agent or publisher check to see if they have a preferred 
              manuscript format: follow it if they do. If they do not, consider 
              these guidelines. They may seem fussy and irrelevant, given that 
              you can do pretty good digital typesetting in most word processing 
              programs, and that very few people use typewriters any more.   |
