Re: The correct format for chapter listings in a manuscript
I've seen so many styles, I always assumed chapter headers were a personal taste thing. What I did was check out as many formats as possible in my chosen genre and picked one I liked.

Re: The correct format for chapter listings in a manuscript
I like the first variant. It seems to be a kind of more serious.
Through this stage I realized that I wanted to write. Due to this one I became a writer.

There's a reason you might not find a reference to it; do it anyway you like; your publisher will tell you if they prefer a different style when the time comes. It's not a deal breaker. Take care. Vern
