A particular publisher requests that a short story be submitted via email, attached as a Word document, with a short bio in the body of the email. Formatting is not specified.

Knowing this, I am wondering how to properly format the short story document. In particular: 1) what is the recommended font type and size, 2) should page numbers be included, 3) single or double spaced, and 4) include a cover page (and with what, name and title) or just start the story on the first page since they already have my bio.

Thank you for any feedback, this is a tough topic to find on Google
