Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about children's book editing.
I edit all types of children's books — picture books, early readers, chapter books, and middle-grade novels. Whether your book is 500 words or 40,000, I can help.
Children's books have unique requirements — age-appropriate language, pacing for young readers, engaging dialogue, and the right balance of text and illustration notes. I specialise in these nuances.
The Starter Kit is for authors who have a story idea but need help developing it into a full children's book. The In-Depth Edit is a comprehensive edit and proofread of your completed manuscript. The Developmental Edit includes everything in the In-Depth package plus a detailed report with storyline ideas, illustration suggestions, and more.
Turnaround depends on the package and word count. Picture books typically take 1-2 weeks, while longer manuscripts take 2-4 weeks. I'll provide a timeline before we start.
