I review a lot of manuscripts and query letters, and often see incorrect formatting for comp titles. Here is a guide for formatting book titles. These are the most common standards and preferences I’ve seen from agents and editors. The “ALL CAPS” for pre-published or querying titles appears to be a #kidlit industry-specific preference. If you are from another industry or have more insights, please comment! And if you need a children’s book manuscript review, sign up for coaching at CuddlefishAcademy.com. You can get a picture book review for as little as 25 US.
