preferred Formatting for Prints Charming anthologies

There are usually one or more anthologies open at Prints Charming. Since the subs all have to be formatted to uniform font etc when I'm putting together the manuscripts I thought I'd mention desirable formatting for subs. You don't have to do this but it will make my job a lot easier if you do. The anthologies also have puff pages for contributors. These vary in length. The samples here and here are for the story anthologies. The one for Prints Rhyming should be shorter.


STORIES 
MS Word or RTF
Georgia 11
Indented paragraphs for fiction with indentation tab set to 0.7
Line spacing set to 1.15
No empty lines unless it denotes a hard scene break. 
Justified left - ragged right

Speech marks single rather than double. (This saves horrible errors such as  don"t occurring when I do a global change.)

SAMPLE

POETRY
MS Word or RTF
Georgia 11
Poetry may be centred or  justified left
Line spacing set to 1.15

Stanzas split with a 1.15 blank line
