Very helpful video. Can you tell me how to distinguish a letter received by the protagonist and the remainder of the text. There are twelve in my novel and can be several pages. Initially I had them italicized and was told not to do that. Then I gave them a different script font to suggest they were handwritten. What do you recommend?

no matter how many times I tried to do what you said about the formatting it turns out all over the page it says it is doing what you are saying with the paragraph and spacing but after doing it the sentences are all out of whack

Very detailed and useful video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to creat this. I am especially happy because I am using the same version of Word. Best wishes.

Wonderful interview that I'm just catching.

why shouldn't you have an extra line space between different paragraphs? to me it makes it more organized and easier to edit if you separate paragraphs with a line space.

Thank you Allison and Sarah! This was so helpful and heartening! I'm a speech therapist about to send my first query so I really appreciated the tip to pretend like my mail character is a client. Also, thanks for sharing how difficult this perod can be as well. Congratulations to you! Your book sounds amazing! I'll share and review!

Glad to be here!

As a fan of horror, YA and women in horror, this was an absolute joy to watch! I have Jennifer Strange on the way and I'm lookin forward to readin books from everybody here!

Great Video. Thank you for the information. I spent quite a lot of time trying to find out how to take the page number off the title page.

Yay! so glad that you interviewed Kate Fussner! I bought *The Song of Us* for my queer, poetry-writing kid for Christmas and she LOVED it.

So glad this is back! 👍🏼

Thank you!!!

Can you see this message? Jen

Hey! It’s Jen…in Jacksonville….this is from an old account from my daughter’s school…PTO. I will set up something next time. So happy to join in

Best gift. Ever. Your expertise, enthusiasm and compassion are invaluable. As a working writer (Hyperion, S & S, RH, Marvel, Hollywood) who has discovered the joy of creating children's literature, I appreciate this level of guidance. Thank you, Sarah, Ann, Jacqui and spectral presence of Lane. Happy holidays!

thank you - this was helpful as I begin to send out queries

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Thank you all for doing this!

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Writers seeking an agent: really good info in this. Right about the 1 hour mark, they talk about things that will make them pass on a query that you don't usually hear. I mean, tons of other good stuff, but wanted to note that.

Listening to this now…I love her “Charlie Brown” moment! It’s so heartbreaking and real!

🙏🏼

I hope one day I can be interviewed by you, Sarah. That would be a real pleasure...

Five professional-looking women, one man who looks like a reject from a frat party. Is he drunk?

I've been enjoying the Queries Qualms & Quirks podcast, which I recently discovered and listen to when I walk my dog. Thank you for answering all those questions. It lets us behind Oz's curtain.

This videos are turning smaller... I'd love to hear more 😁

Enjoy your podcasts, Sarah. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I will be on a live stream in which the host is using StreamYard so I wanted to make sure I knew what everything looked like.

Start each new chapter a third of the way down on the page can I use two space down or does it need more than two?

loved the tutorial. Well done! If a character reads a letter in the story. Is the letter formatted differently?

So glad to have this program back 🙌

On the next page, when I paste text on the page, and I do paste using unformatted text when it goes to the next page, it will go too far down the next page. How do I correct that?

Recently signed with Tobias. Sorry to have missed the live broadcast. Catching up now!

Very helpful. Do I need to have Streamyard already launched? Also, should I disable my laptop mic and camara if I’m going to use an external mic and external webcam?

Absolutely amazing video. You have helped me tremendously with formatting my manuscript.. Thank you Sarah.

Love this interview. Wish she repped what I write.

Thank you SO much for all of this wonderful information! I love that there's so much support for this community.

lol Can totally relate to doing everything backwards, upside down, and sideways 😂 Loved hearing this, thank you both!

I have been busy doing a marathon of this podcast and saving my favorite episodes. This one like many stands out as one of my favorite. Crystal is so fun and a great story teller. Her publisher rejections and reaching out to Roxane Gay were so cool.

Deva is my former neighbor in Conn. Very interesting, helpful, and nice couple with her husband Bob. I still recognize her laugh.

Awesome channel.

How did I not know this existed? Will definitely add it to my list of resources for querying writers!

I need to put this on my calendar! I keep missing these or finding them late.

I love these, but the KZbin versions are so quiet.

Jackson had a lot of great advice for writers. I enjoyed listening to this interview.

Jackson is so much fun to listen to! Fantastic interview!

Wow! This is great information for those who are interested in writing and publishing. I'm so happy to have found your channel! I attended one of your live writing streams about a month ago. I would love for you to speak at the first Authortube Writing Conference (AWC). I've emailed you about the event and hope you'll consider it!

I had some glitches in my existing title page, and when I deleted this and created it again from scratch, following Sarah's instructions, all my problems with creating a header and page numbering were solved.

Good video instruction Sarah. I'm using Microsoft Word 365 which is different to your version, but after lots of hunting I find the correct tabs/options etc. At 9:38 you talk about creating title page, great tips. At 12:20 you talk about creating a header for the manuscript. I used to be able to do this but lost my notes on how I did it. The problem I'm having is that it only creates the header and numbering on one page, not all pages. Any idea why this is happening? Also when I click Format Page Number and select 'Start at 0' the page number says 0.

I missed this last night, too late for me---but I subscribed for next time!
