Developmental Editing for Picture Books, Chapter Books and Middle Grade Novels
I am a Children’s Book Editor specializing in developmental editing for picture books, chapter books and middle grade novels. I have over fifteen years experience editing children’s books. From fiction to fantasy, picture books to novels, my experience editing children’s books also spans genre and format.
I love being a children’s book editor, so writing and editing children’s books is not just a job for me—it’s also my passion. My clients range from new writers to veteran children’s authors. Additionally, authors I work with publish in a number of ways, including self and traditional publication. I can help with initial brainstorming or getting your idea on paper, to full developmental editing. I offer a range of children’s book editorial services, from one-on-one consultations to full developmental editing. Do you want to write a children’s book? I can help.
I am a strong believer in the power of words.
The ways in which we weave them are the paths by which our stories are told.
I believe that we all have stories to tell. Please take time to explore my site where you can learn a little more about me, the children’s book editorial services I offer, and the writing I do.
It is in my words that I find my freedom.
