Check the format of a Manuscript for Sending to Critters

Use this page to see if your manuscript is in the proper format for sending to Critters.

Note that having it check out okay does NOT submit the manuscript! It only checks it for formatting problems. Submit the manuscript as usual (preferably via the submission page, or via email).

Try this one if your browser supports file transfers and you've saved your manuscript to a text file...

-Or-
If your browser does not support file uploads, or you're trying to copy and paste directly from your word processor into your email program and thus have no text file to test... then paste your file here and we'll take a shot at checking it (not as reliable since your browser may wrap lines differently than your email program; and this box won't hold all of manuscripts longer than about 6,000 words; though that's good enough for most purposes):
