Thanks to wonderful sites like the three I've listed below, I've managed to figure out most of what I need to know about formatting the Eila manuscript, which I want finished now so that when we edit in ten or eleven days (when's my birthday, again?), we can do so more easily. However, two questions remain, but are not as urgent:
  1. How do you format the contact info for two authors on the title page? Do you just pick one author's contact info? Or can you put both on there? All of the info I've managed to drum up is formatting for scientific journals, not novel criteria.

  2. There's a variation in the agreement for what symbols to use for line breaks. At this point I'm going with the "use what feels right, unless the editor says otherwise" (the same philosophy I'm taking with the italics being underlined issue, which apparently isn't much of one anymore?). The problem I foresee is not the line breaks, but the areas where I actually want a dividing line or visible break between POVs. At present, I'm using a single * for line breaks and a * * * * * for separation of points of view where I would want a delineation marked beyond just the line break. Suggestions from the pros and more knowledgeable folks on the subject?
