Q: What formatting requirements should my document meet?
A:

Manuscripts should follow a standard editorial/draft format (content only) to minimize processing errors.
Maximum length: 200,000 words.
Maximum file size: 3 MB.
Remove title pages, outlines, images, back matter, or appendices to reduce file size.
Use clear section breaks or chapters (e.g., Heading 1/Heading 2 in DOCX, #/## in Markdown).
While we’ll attempt to skip front/back matter, providing a content‑only manuscript ensures the best outcome. Documents without logical breaks may be rejected.
