Children's Book Editor & Writing Coach
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I spent more than a decade as a preschool and kindergarten teacher—and I LOVE children’s literature. There is no better way to speak to the heart of a child than through the written word. Whether you have finished your children’s book or are looking for someone to help you brainstorm, I would LOVE to help.
Children's Book Developmental Editor
Are you ready to start at the top to strengthen the content, pace, structure, and overall flow of your children’s book? You may be ready for a developmental edit. As a developmental editor, I will work with you to develop a strong storyline that is both clear and compelling. We will work together to organize the content, develop strong characters (memoirs and fiction), create a pace that fits your message, and reach your targeted readers.
Children's Book Line Editor
Do you feel like the overall flow of your children's book is strong, but you need a more in-depth look at each sentence and how it supports the theme? A line edit may be just the ticket. In a line edit, I listen to the story `{`literally`}` to help you strengthen your voice. Together, we will work through each line of the text to make sure that it supports your point of view (POV), avoids contradictions (such as false simultaneity), and maintains a pace that keeps young reader’s engaged.
Children's Book Copy Editor and Proofreader
Copy editing is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of ``editing.`` A copy edit involves reviewing the children's book for structure, grammar, and spelling, and punctuation errors. This is an important step in ensuring that your children's book is ready for publication.
Children's Book Ghostwriter/Co-Author
Perhaps you've outlined your story (on paper or in your head), and you realize that you would like to work with a ghostwriter or co-author. I would be honored to help you share your story or expertise with the world.
