Is quoted poetry doublespaced in a novel manuscript?
Hi
Working on a novel. In it, people read from famous works of poetry (Poe’s Raven, Tennyson’s Lady of Shalott). There are also bits of little poetry written by one character (three line haiku) too. When I add them into my novel’s manuscript, should it be doublespaced like everything else or is poetry supposed to be singlespaced?

Best answer:

Answer by S. G.
Every single word in a book manuscript is double spaced no matter what it is.
