I will complete a total edit on your picture book manuscript

I have a BA in French and journalism, an MA in publishing and creative writing, and I’m a contract editor for a major U.S. proofreading service. Additionally, I published my first picture book in the spring of 2023 and am currently continuing the series.

This package includes beta read feedback, structural editing, content/line editing, proofreading, and Standard Manuscript Formatting.

Yes. My goal is to strengthen your manuscript while keeping your voice intact—especially important in picture books.

I can work with most children’s categories, including board-book–style text, picture books, and early-reader–leaning manuscripts.

AI-assisted work is welcome if its use is clearly disclosed on the copyright page. I do not edit fully AI-generated manuscripts. Per U.S. copyright law, work must reflect the author’s voice and include significant human creative input before editing begins.

Yes. If there are topics you want handled carefully (grief, divorce, trauma, etc.), tell me up front.

Your manuscript text (Word preferred), word count, target age range, and any goals or concerns. If you have illustrator notes or page concepts, you can include them too.
