THE TYPESCRIPT

Your typescript will consist of two parts: the text and the artwork. The text contains all the material to be typeset; the artwork reference contains all the material to be drawn, or photos (halftones) to be included.

All these listed elements may not be necessary for your book. What you should or should not include will be decided between you and your sponsor. If your book is one in a series, there will be a series style to follow. If you are in doubt, ask your sponsoring editor.
