Book is done; new speed bump

13. I use Word and formatting it is pretty easy.

First off, are you using correct manuscript format? Use this: https://www.shunn.net/format/classic/

I have edited a couple of anthologies, and it's frustrating how many submissions I got from people who claimed to be published many times, and didn't use the correct format. I gave them the above link and told the to re-submit when they got that right. I also wound up reformatting more of the stories than I should have.

.docx is the best, because essentially every word processing program can read it.

You may need to actually re-type two of the three parts of your novel, to get everything copacetic.

I'm curious as to what three programs you are using, and why did you end up using three?
