Format Fiction Manuscript to Standard

I've completed a fiction manuscript and now I need it shaped into the industry-accepted standard manuscript format. The draft is in DOCX files, roughly 85,000 words, and requires a careful pass to bring every page into compliance.

Here’s what I expect to see when you hand the file back:

• Consistent 12-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, with one-inch margins and proper indents
• My name, book title, and page numbers set up as running headers/footers exactly where traditional agents expect them
• Each new chapter forced onto a fresh page, centered chapter headings, and no stray line breaks or orphaned text
• Uniform alignment, spacing, and scene-break markers throughout

Front Matter Order:
Title page
Copyright page
Dedication
Acknowledgements
Chapter 1 (new page) and page # begins

Do not include:
Drop caps or decorative fonts
Images, text boxes, or graphics
Track changes or comments
Hyphenation or widow/orphan control

Consistency checks:
All chapters present, and incorrect order
Consistent chapter and scene breaks
No mixed fonts or spacing
No blank pages or formatting artifacts

Acceptance criteria:
Docx opens cleanly in Word
Matches traditional submission standards
Ready to send directly to agents or editors

Please preserve italics, boldface but feel free to flag oddities you notice. I’d like the final deliverable returned in both .docx and clean, printable PDF so I can send it straight to beta readers or print for submissions. Let me know your turnaround time and any questions about the file before starting—once you’re set, I’ll upload the manuscript immediately.
