Manuscript Ready is a Google Docs™ add-on for novelists who query literary agents. Format your manuscript, check your chapter lengths and create the exact sample an agent asks for, in a few clicks.
Times New Roman 12, double spacing, one-inch margins, indented paragraphs, every chapter on a new page, scene breaks as "#", and the "Surname / TITLE /" header. Your title page is kept, or created for you.
See your total, rounded the way agents expect, and the length of every chapter, so you can spot the one that drags.
First 5, 10 or 50 pages, first chapter, first three chapters or first 10,000 words: a clean new document, cut at the end of a paragraph, never mid-sentence.
Free: formatting, word count, and one agent sample.
Pro: $19 once, for life. Unlimited agent samples and all future Pro features. Taxes are added at checkout where they apply.
