Manuscript Assessment/Literary Consultation

Contact Richard at gargoyle@gargoylemagazine.com

I charge $1 a page to read a manuscript sans red pen and simply tell you what I think. I send along a short 1-2pp critique and don't return the manuscript.

I charge $2 a page to read and critique manuscripts. Poetry/fiction/nf. Book length or individual stories, essays, poems.  I red pen the document and send a much longer written critique.

All manuscripts are to be double spaced. Booklength manuscripts should be in Courier font (as that's what agents and editors expect).

Checks should accompany your manuscript.
