Heading on the first page of your document, positioned in the upper left. Double spacing throughout the manuscript (including quotes, notes, and list of works cited) Consecutively numbered pages in upper right corner. 12 point, Times New Roman or other similar serif font.

I surveyed forty literary agents in October of 2014 to ask them which font they preferred for submitted manuscripts. Have you read my posts on Formatting your Novel Manuscript? If not, read part one here and part two here.
