A key thing here might actually be: do what works for you.I know I&#039;ve successfully used Time New Roman 12-point for years, double-spaced, then switched to Courier just because some people think it makes a difference. What it mostly did was confuse me as to where I was in terms of my project&#039;s length. TNR also does some funky things to curly quotes, etc., in Word that disappears entirely in Courier, but I seriously doubt it makes a difference in the end.Maybe I&#039;ll try my current WIPs in 1.5 or 1.0. I do most of my nonfiction in 1.0.
