I will format your manuscript for literary agent submission
Thesis and Manuscript Formatting Specialist
About this Gig
Hey! Before a literary agent reads a single word of your story, your formatting has already spoken. I format novel and nonfiction manuscripts to industry standard (Shunn/standard manuscript format) so your submission looks like it came from a professional, not a hobbyist.
What's included: proper title page with word count, running header with author/title/page number, correct margins and 12pt font, true first-line paragraph indents (no tab errors), scene breaks, chapter starts, and formatting matched to a specific agent's submission guidelines if you provide them.
Agents skim for red flags before they read the pitch. A manuscript formatted wrong signals amateur and can get set aside before your writing even gets a chance. I make sure that never happens.

FAQ
Do you edit or rewrite my writing?
No this gig is formatting only, not content editing. I don't touch your prose.
Can you format to a specific agent's or publisher's submission guidelines?
Yes, send me the guidelines and I'll match them exactly.
What's "Shunn" or "standard manuscript format"?
It's the industry-standard layout agents and editors expect: specific margins, font, spacing, headers, and title page setup.
Do you also write query letters?
Not on this gig I focus purely on manuscript formatting.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes, always.
