3. Always double-space manuscripts.

6. We will provide a non-disclosure agreement that the team will sign, agreeing that we will not disclose any aspect of your manuscript, including characters, world-building elements, and concept.
​
7. We encourage you to register the title of your work, the concept, and a synopsis or outline with The Writer's Guild. Many books and podcasts become films, and this early registration protects you and your team of creators as author(s). Although this does not take the place of registration with the Library of Congress, the Writer's Guild will appear with you in court if there is ever a dispute as to originality. The Library of Congress doesn't offer that.
NOTE: Editing is done on a new file -- your original file will not be touched. You have the final say regarding changes and revisions.
