Hey guys, I read that most publishers prefer that you submit your manuscript in The Chicago Style format. Is this true or is it really up to the individual publishers guidelines. I mostly write in in MLA format and want to know if i need to learn other formats to make my writing more marketable to publishers. Thanks and have a good day.
If a publisher is intrigued enough by your query to ask for your ms, why wouldn't you submit it according to their specific guidelines? Why shoot yourself in the foot?
what is preferred/required is standard ms submission format... you'll find the details here: http://www.shunn.net/format/ but you should still check each agent's/publisher's submission guidelines and follow them to the letter, in case they want something other...
