I have the ideas and everything, what I don't know is how is it supposed to look like. Is it supposed to be Times New Roman or something else. How about the size? (12 pt)
When I am done with it, how do I get an editor to see my script?
What are the steps of making a book?

find an area u would like to write, (fiction/ non-fiction/ fantasy/ crime etc.) den make a plan of ur goals. Give urself a REALISTIC deadline (consider ur worktime and stuff) and msot importantly set urself a target.. what do yu want to achieve. what is ur goal... do u want a best seller? do u want ur motehr to buy ur book without u telling her to? u NEED to make that step. its very important for motivation and focus. the font and size dun rly matter much but yeah.
just think that FICTION books (if ur planing on maing one) need to have a certain make-sense order. dont jumble things up and also, rember that it comes from emotion and feeling. and NOT personal experience,becasue then it becoem an autobigoarphy.
search google as well. dey hav lotsa tips.
take ur time
good luk

don't worry about what it looks like. that's what editors and publishing companies are for.
as for how to get an editor to look at it, just send your manuscript to several publishing companies and hope. also, you can look for an agent (i don't know how to get one, but it's usually a good idea to have one) who can help you do some editing and can tell you which publishers are more likely to accept your work. the other option is to publish it yourself, on the internet. but whatever you do, i wish you luck. hope that helps.

i know little about this but i would think that leaving it simple 12 point font, times new roman, would be a good idea. it's easy to read and not distracting.

Write it first, then think about fonts and the like...and THEN about publishing.. I recommend Internet publishing.
