What is A Manuscript?

What is a manuscript and what should creative writers understand about the term when it's used by editors or in the publishing industry?

In this episode of Julie Explains Things, Simply, I explain the concept of the manuscript.

It can be though of as a final draft of your books written contents

I have finished my first book. Hand written romance novel. I have it on my laptop and also printed it out. But it’s been sitting fermenting for three years. Because I did not know what a manuscript was? I found a service that will format my heart play but just didn’t know the rules of putting it into manuscript form? Thank you for explaining that it is just the finished product and you can send it in any style. thank you so much.
