+\chapter{CHAPTER ONE}
+\label{chapterone}
+
+This standard manuscript format is required for prose
+fiction so that work can be easily read and edited by
+editors and copy editors. It also allows editors to both
+estimate the word count and accurately determine how many
+pages will be required to produce a book using the page
+size, style, and type font of their choice.
+
+Manuscripts for full-length novels require a separate
+title page. The author's real name and address, telephone
+number and e-mail address should be shown in the upper left
+corner of the first page, single-spaced. The title of the
+story appears in all capitals about half way down the page.
+The author's name follows the title on the by-line and
+should be shown as the author wants it to appear when
+published. A real name, or pseudonym may be used and may
+include initials or actual given name, and professional
+designation.
+
+All text should be double-spaced and flush-left, not
+justified, with a ``ragged'' right margin. All paragraphs are
+indented by five spaces and not separated by an additional
+blank line. Each sentence should end with two spaces.
+
+Top and bottom margins must be set to allow for 25
+lines of text to the page (not including the page header).
+Left and right margins must be set to allow for an average
+of 10 words to a line in order to accurately assess the
+final word count. In publishing terms, one ``word'' equals
+six characters (including punctuation and spaces), thus each
+line of text must allow for a maximum of 60 characters of
+text.
+
+Each page, except the title page, must include a header
+consisting of the author's real surname, the title of the
+work (or a keyword) in capitals, and the page number.
+
+\section{Scene}
+\label{scene}
+
+Scene breaks are indicated like this. Do not simply
+add an extra line space as this can be missed by the
+typesetter. Indicate \emph{italics} by \emph{underlining}. 
+
+\chapter{CHAPTER TWO}
+\label{chaptertwo}
+
+Begin each new chapter on a new page like this with the
+chapter number about a third of the way down the page. 
+
+Writers should never use the word-count feature of
+their computers to determine the number of words in a
+manuscript. The term \emph{word count}, as used in the publishing
+industry, is actually inaccurate. Editors count pages, not
+words. Properly prepared manuscripts, with 25 lines of type
+to a page and an average of 10 words to a line are assumed
+to contain 250 words on each full page. Partial pages,
+where the text covers half or less of the available space,
+are counted as 125 words for the publishers purposes, except
+for the first pages of chapters or short stories which are
+counted as full pages. Once the initial word-count has been
+calculated, it should be rounded up to the nearest 1000
+words (100 for short stories).
