- Each new chapter starts on a new page. When the chapter ends, press Shift + Enter to start a new page automatically. (NOVELS & OTHER PROSE)
- When you get a poem which is over one page long, try to get as close to the bottom of the page as possible before moving onto the next.

That's about it for the new format rules. Sorry to appear a stickler, but for the best possible print results this is the best format.
Please adhere to these guidelines. For efficiency, manuscripts that do not adhere to this and differ greatly will not get printed until they are amended.
