About Me

Richard Denoncourt

MFA Author & Line Editor

I’ve spent the past fifteen years writing and publishing my own books. As a student of literature at Colgate University, I decided to make enduring quality my governing principle. My fiction is never “pulp” – it’s character-driven drama sustained by well-written sentences.

Now, I’m sharing this finely honed skill with the world. Click below (or the “About Me” link at the top) to learn more!

Testimonials

I recently worked with Richard Denoncourt on the editing of my first novel, as well as my query letter. His efforts exceeded all my expectations on both fronts. I was not only extremely pleased with the quality of his work and results, but also the genuine caring he continually demonstrated throughout the process for the success of the book and my growth as an author. Richard was fully invested in the book and in the person, and I am appreciative and grateful for both. If you want a great editor, teacher, and motivator I would strongly recommend Richard. He will undoubtedly exceed your expectations, as he did mine.
