TIP: The editing examples are presented as Word file screenshots. Those and other images didn’t display well in my Kindle, so you might want to buy the print version. This is a\u00a0 resource you\u2019re likely to refer to repeatedly, so it\u2019s worth the extra expense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Use it, too, to format your manuscript accordingly before sending it to the editor you contract with (after following the advice in the book to find just the right one).<\/p>\n

This is important. I edit business books on occasion and the Word files often arrive in my inbox with what we might call unconventional formatting.\u00a0And why not? How does someone who is busy running a successful business know what a book manuscript should look like in Word?<\/p>\n

For that reason, I hope that Wendel\u2019s editor colleagues will recommend this book to their clients before they start a project. When your manuscript arrives in your editor’s inbox with the right formatting, you won’t be paying your editor to format it for you.<\/p>\n
