Online fiction submissions?

Question

I am a short story writer, but I have never submitted online before. Normally manuscripts need to be double-spaced. Is this also true if your are submitting to an internet-based literary journal? I read the journal's guidelines, but all it says is that submissions have to be either in RTF or a Word document.

Answerer #1-- Thanks, but no thanks for your help (or lack of it).

Answer 2

This is a good question. And I have been sitting here for a minute trying to figure out how to reply to it. Although I do not know the answer, I am going to look over the net, and do a search on Google, and Yahoo, and other sites and try to find out. I wish I knew what the answer was because I think a question like this deserves the answer. I am wonder how many other people would benefit from the answer. I am glad you asked this question, as it has really got me thinking............. thanks again!!!



PS, this question reminds me of other questions I have seen in my lifetime, which I still have yet to come up worth an answer. Maybe you might know the answer to them............

Answer 3

i might say that the only i'm worst approximately is extensive style 2. you notice, that has a bent to be the way I communicate (helpful, it does sound very pretentious. Oh suitable). i've got have been given consistently have been given right here upon it least complicated to jot down down the way I communicate. Then i'll look decrease back at what i've got have been given written and comprehend that the paragraph I purely wrote is definitely one long sentence. it extremely isn't precisely a run-on because of the certainty it extremely is properly based grammatically, yet there is quite a few pointless crap tagged onto the decrease front and back of the particular sentence.

Answer 4

i've heard of that. i've read works of people who do and don't double-space their stories and they didn't encounter any problems? i'm not sure what you mean. i write online fiction as well, but i only follow the website's rules and add nothing more; i don't double space. i find it unnecessary? @_@ i also look at books and see that they don't double-space, which is another reason why i don't.
