Megan Danvers | 74 comments If you write a book where the chapters are divided up between parts like Cinder by Marissa Meyer or the Shades of Magic Trilogy by VE Schwab, how do you format the parts in a manuscript for submitting to agents and publishers?

Do you put the part numbers and titles on a separate page or do you put them a couple lines before the chapter heading on the same page?

Like pretend this: (______________) represents a page break.

Would it be like this:

Title Page
________________


Part 1
Part Title

________________

Chapter 1
Chapter Title

________________

Or like this:

Title Page
________________

Part 1
Part Title


Chapter 1
Chapter Title
