Hello there! Do you have a preferred location for the page numbers, such as centered at the bottom or top of the page? Are there any specific requirements or guidelines for the margins, or do you prefer a standard layout? Could you share the approximate word count or page count of your novel to help estimate the overall scope of the formatting task? Are there any specific formatting styles or layouts from published novels that you find appealing or would like to emulate in your own book? Regarding indentation for new speakers or quotes, do you have a preference for block quotes, hanging indents, or a different style based on the context?
