Send your novel out.

A novel now exports as a standard manuscript, the format agents, editors, and contests ask for: Export → Manuscript (PDF)… or Manuscript (Word)… (also in the Drafter menu, the palette, and the desktop app's File → Export). How it works.

  • A short box first. Manuscript details asks for the title page's details once (title, byline, legal name, contact lines, the header's surname and short title, the font) and keeps them in the book, so the next export asks nothing new. Every field is optional; a blank one is left off the page.
  • The standard format. 12 pt Times-style or Courier, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, every paragraph indented. A title page with your contact details and "about 87,000 words"; the running header Surname / SHORT TITLE / page from page 2; each chapter a third of the way down a new page; a part on a page of its own; # between scenes; END after the last line; footnotes as endnotes.
  • The Word file opens in Word and Pages with no question, its page numbers in the header. It uses Word's own Double spacing, so it runs to about a tenth more pages than the PDF.
  • Private, as always. Both files are made on your device; nothing is sent anywhere. The details live only in your book's file and the files you export.
