I have what is probably a really stupid question, but this is driving me insane! When I paste the requested pages into the email for the query, the pages from my manuscript paste in without the indents to signal a new paragraph. Instead, there is a space between paragraphs. I spent about two hours messing with the email formatting (I use gmail) and copying it all onto notepad, ripping out all formatting, correcting it in notepad, and then pasting it back in. Nothing. Still doesn't indent. It doesn't look bad, just not right. Is this something that agents will be really picky about? Does this happen to anyone else? Am I just a noob and haven't figured this out? Short of typing it all into the email, I don't know how to fix this.
But, more importantly, I am stressing over whether or not this will make an agent think I am sloppy. The Query itself is fine, as is the synopsis. Its just when the actual manuscript pages...
Anyone have any insight?
