Activity 4: Interactive Lecture and Discussion

A manuscript is essentially the earliest draft of a book. It is the unpublished version of a book submitted to
agents and editors for publication consideration. In book publishing, agents and editors will often refer to books
in manuscript form, noting that the book is in the earliest stages of preparation.
A book in manuscript form will always need to be edited. And, sometimes, once the editor has gone through it,
it is sent back to the author for a rewrite. Either way, it will likely be sent back to you once it's been edited and
proofread so you can make the requested changes. Once it is deemed to be fully ready, it is then sent to the
production side of the business, where it is prepped to be printed into an actual book.

Writing a Manuscript
Some authors begin work on their manuscript without first having had a book proposal accepted by a
publisher. They write first, then look for a publisher. And if they can't find a publisher, they self-publish. Other
authors only begin to work on the manuscript once a book proposal has been accepted by a publisher.

When you are composing your book, many people recommend not worrying about the format. You can
compose your manuscript writing longhand with a quill on parchment if that's what gets your creative juices
flowing. There are still writers who use paper and pen, typewriters. or record their manuscripts verbally before
transcribing it or having it transcribed for them. Bestselling author Danielle Steel has written more than 100
books—all on her trusty 1946 Olympia manual typewriter.

However, it is probably safer to compose using a computer and word processing program so your work is
saved and won't blow away in the wind. You also have the advantage of using spell check and grammar
checking.

Style and Preparation Guidelines

Whatever method you use to compose your manuscript, it must eventually be made to conform to the style
guide and manuscript preparation guidelines required by the publisher. There may be different style guides and
manuscript requirements for the type of books, such as fiction, nonfiction, children's books, scripts, and poetry.
Ask the publisher or your agent for their guidelines before you submit your manuscript.

Common rules for formatting a manuscript stem both from tradition and a need for the copy to be easy to read
and annotate. You should follow these rules:

Use one-inch margins on the top, bottom, and left- and right-hand sides.
Numbering should begin on the first page following the title page.
Each page should have a header with your name, the book title in all caps, and the page number.
The entire text should be double-spaced, which leaves space for comments by editors.
Indent each paragraph five spaces without adding extra lines between paragraphs.
Use a standard font type such as Arial or New Times Roman in 12-point type.
Printed manuscripts should be produced on 20-lb. bond paper.

Oratorical speech is different from regular speech. In regular speech, you just communicate your ideas to the
audience. In oratory speech, the aim is to convince the audience of your ideas. The audience may be
composed of people with different views on the topic. So oratory should be structured in such a way as to
address a majority of the viewpoints associated with the topic.

Oratory Speech Structure

The basic speech structure consists of three components – the introduction, the body and the conclusion. In
the introduction, the topic is introduced to the audience and you put before the audience the main points of
your speech. You inform them what areas related to the topic will be covered in the speech. In the body of the
speech, each issue is discussed in detail. And in the conclusion, you summarize the main points of the speech
and emphasize the take-home points again. Prepare a broad outline for each of the three components before
writing the speech. Preparation of an outline helps you to stick to the point better and prevents rambling.

The Introduction

The introduction needs an attention-getting phrase or word to engage the audience. The attention-getter must
then be linked to your topic. Next state the significance of the topic and the purpose of your speech. Inform the
audience about the areas of the topic you intend to touch upon and how it will interest them. For instance, if
you are talking about environmental issues, you may want to share an interesting case study. This creates
common ground with the audience and gives them a reason to listen to you.

The Body

The body covers the main part of the speech. You need to put forth your key points with adequate backing and
evidence. The oratory speech structure may follow either an informative format or a persuasive format. The
difference between the two formats lies at this stage. In an informative format, the body of the speech
essentially talks about the past, present and the future outlook for the topic under discussion. In a persuasive
format, the focus is on the problem, cause and solution for a particular aspect of the topic. In general, the
persuasive format is preferred over the informative format for making effective oratorical speeches.

The Conclusion

Present a well-thought-out conclusion to make a lasting impression on the audience. If the conclusion is lame,
all the good work done in the body of the speech will be in vain. Summarize the main points of the speech.
Offer justification of your viewpoint on the topic and restate the purpose of the speech. Invite the audience to
be a part of the solution to tackle environmental issues, if that is your topic. Give the audience an action to
pursue. Use an appropriate attention-getter to close the speech. This may be linked to the introduction
attention-getter.
