I know that agents and publishers like to see manuscripts and sample chapters double spaced . . . .And when one sends in a query, I know they generally like to see the material pasted into the body of an email (as opposed to attached) . . .My problem is that my new iMac is not able to keep the double spaced format of the original document when I paste it into my email. . . ..In my quest to resolve this issue, I have been told that the double space rule does not apply to material pasted into the body of emails . . . As long as the material has good paragraph spacing and is readable I should not sweat the fact that it is not double spaced. Can any members of this forum validate this for me and shed some light in this issue for me? Thank you very much.
