I do. Why do agents want double spaced? To me, it just looks so messy and confusing. Also, the paragraph space can barely be seen. And what do agents even mean when they say they want double spaced?
This is a guideline I copied from an agent's website:
This is what to do! (Please don't phone or email ahead. It's all here!)1 Type your book title and surname in the email subject line.2 In the email, tell me briefly about your book and yourself.3 Attach just one Word file containing (i.e. in the same document):for fiction, the first 20 pages of the book (rounded up to the end of a chapter) in 12-point text, double-line-spaced; followed by a brief synopsis of the whole plot (including the ending!);for picture books, the complete text.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When she says 20 double spaced pages, does she mean 10 single pages when double spaced turn into 20? Or 20 single spaced pages when double spaced turn into 40?
I'm so confused. Thanks in advance.
Does anybody else hate the way double spaced writing looks?
