Question

what should be the left ,the right margins, the no. of lines per page ect. while writing a novel - fiction on the computer.

Answer 1

Use white 20 lb paper, 8 ½" x 11"

If you use fan-fold paper (not recommended), separate the pages and remove the edges

Use 1" margins top, bottom, left and right

Use laser, ink jet, or letter-quality dot matrix printer (with dot matrix, make sure ribbon is fresh)

Double-space your manuscript and synopsis (a synopsis may be single-spaced only if it is less than two pages)
