Here is the winning entry from the Oklahoma Writers Federation, Inc (OWFI) 2021 Contest: How to Create a Manuscript Template Using Microsoft Word
While this uses a contest entry format as the basis for the template, I hope it helps you to create and use your own templates for your writing projects and submissions.
Holly Jahangiri is the author of Trockle, illustrated by Jordan Vinyard; A Puppy, Not a Guppy, illustrated by Ryan Shaw; and the newest release: A New Leaf for Lyle, illustrated by Carrie Salazar.
She draws inspiration from her family, from her own childhood adventures (some of which only happened in her overactive imagination), and from readers both young and young-at-heart. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.
I have been a happy customer here, myself. While this is an affiliate link, I'm just happy to promote PeoplesHost, because I have had nothing but great customer experience with them as my own web hosting provider.
Thanks. Will try this.
Let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions for improvements! 🙂 Hope it’s helpful to you. Obviously, you’ll want to modify it to fit a standard manuscript format (this was written for a contest entry format, specifically, but all the same principles and skills apply).
Very useful. Saving this. Thanks, Holly!
Thank you for sharing this, it is really helpful.
Very helpful, Holly! Saving this for future use. Thank you!
