#WritersCoffeeClub Do you format your own work?
No.
I'm trad published by Big Five imprints or magazines/anthologies, all of whom have production workflow that handles editing and layout to comply with their house style.
I supply the raw text, in standard manuscript format, because that's what my editors read and it's the standardized input to the publishing pipeline.
(If you self-publish, the rules are entirely different. And if I ever self-publish, I'll switch accordingly.)
