Stick with the Shunn format. That’s a standard for manuscript submission. Formats are changed upon publication to match the publisher’s style and needs.

I second @lost_bard on this one. Shunn formatting styles are the standard for the majority of markets, and they're certainly great choices for WotF submissions. I used to sub here using Shunn Classic, but switched over to Shunn Modern as my default maybe two or three years ago.
