What is a "manuscript"?
A manuscript is a handwritten or typed document that represents an author's original work before it is published. It can include drafts of novels, essays, research papers, or other written material. Manuscripts are used to review, edit, and refine the content before it is finalized for publication or presentation. They can be in various stages of completion, from rough drafts to near-final versions, and are crucial in the process of creating a polished and finished work.
