SLOG - Formatting for Submission 1 - Title Page
This is an excerpt from $uccess, Your Path to a Successful Book by Maralyn D. Hill and Brenda C. Hill.
Most may think there is a standard way to format. To a degree this is true.
If you are going the traditional large publishing house route, the rules are simpler including a one-inch margin on all pages:
Title page:
- Word count, upper right hand corner (in Word, go to tools menu, then word count).
- Author name, address, phone, fax and e-mail go approximately 1 or 3 lines below on the left, if this will be submitted by an agent. If the author is submitting without an agent, it would go in the lower left where we show agent information.
- Title and Author centered on page.
Title BOLD CAPS on one line.
Author’s name centered below title.
- Put agent information in the lower right corner. If no agent, author information goes here instead of at the beginning.

SLOG - Quotation Marks & Grammar Continued
Something else new is avoiding quotation marks to emphasize a word or phrase. It is now appropriate to italicize or boldface the word or phrase.
In three to five years, we will invest in an updated edition or a newer book, as we find it necessary to stay current with changing times and rules. Grammar does matter.
Another good choice is The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation by Jane Straus. At this point, Straus’ 9th edition speaks highly for its effectiveness. According to Mayra Calvani, author and reviewer from Brussels, Belgium, “Whether you’re a writer, editor, student, teacher, or simply someone who wishes to tune-up your grammar skills, this book will be an indispensable tool you’ll want to keep in your reference shelf. Most importantly, this is a grammar and punctuation book you won’t hate.”
The ultimate reference is The Chicago Manual of Style. It is updated annually. An alternative is you can use if free for 30 days and then get a subscription. It has everything.

Happy New Year with Writing
We defined the term SLOG before to let you know it is our $uccess Log. We include excerpts from our book, Success, Your Path to a Successful Book by Maralyn D. Hill and Brenda C. Hill.
Today, we are not including an excerpt but celebrating and wishing you a wonderful New Year.
We always enjoy feedback and questions.
Someone asked us our expertise with writing this book--it was easy--to help new writers. One of our Whatever It Takes (WIT) workshops is called "There is a book inside YOU!" We hope our SLOG and our book helps writers achieve this goal.
Be sure to sign up for a copy of our new posts as soon as they happen. We do not sell your names and you can remove yourself from list whenever you want.
