This is taken directly from Writers of the Coast's submission guidelines for their open call. The trouble is, it's weird. The way I'm reading it, I have a three-line header at the top of each and every page, not just at the top of my main page like I'm used to. It takes up room and well, it looks weird. Any thoughts?

I'd say the guidelines were pretty clear. If everyone who enters does that, the only thing that will look weird to the judges is if someone doesn't do it. IMO.

I guess I was just trying to figure out if there was any chance I'd misread it. Like, if maybe they meant the first page of my cover letter, synopsis, chapter-by-chapter, and writiing sample as opposed to all pages of all of them. You're probably right, it is pretty clear, it's just not how I'm used to seeing formatting work.

Me either. But, you know, "ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die." Or do and write and submit and get rejected and try again and finally get published. But that doesn't scan as well!
