JulieYep, the one space thing is a big deal. I've got that done but I have to get rid of all my tabs. That's a hard habit to break!

Follow-up: I should never have doubted! Y'all are absolutely correct. One-space between sentences per U.S. Printing Office, Chicago Manual of Style, and others. Even the APA style manual suggests double-spacing for submissions, yet admits the extra space will be removed for publication. Apparently, the change occurred after my training (am I THAT old?), and I've been living in the dark ages. Thanks for bringing me into the light!

Very interesting tips. I held onto this post for a while until I could have time to read slowly and digest the advice. (One space, really? As a grammar/punctuation purist, I need several sources for that. Will look it up!) The editing suggestions, word counts, and genre tips were especially good. Thanks, Donna & Stacy!

Good question, Yikici. I'm assuming the answer is yes. I know our grammar differs in places. I'm sure UK publishers have a different set of rules.Thanks!

Stacy & Donna, it's a great post! I need to ask though -I assume the grammar discussed above is relevant to the US grammar as opposed to UK English Grammar?
