About this Gig
Vetted Pro
You've got a great draft. Now let's make it exceptional.
Popular children's books deliver impactful lessons, but to do so, they must engage a child's attention and emotions via effective storytelling.
As your specialist children's book editor, I will:
ANALYZE your character, plot, structure, pace, and illustrations.
DEVELOP your story to ensure it's a page-turner for parents and kids.
REVIEW the language, subject matter, and content to ensure it aligns with your target age group.
ANSWER your biggest question: How will agents, publishers, and readers receive this book, and how can we maximize its potential? As a bestselling children's book editor, I understand what it takes to craft children's stories and picture books that can find their home in a busy marketplace.
Children's book editing rates are listed here as a guide, but projects are quoted individually. Please contact me for a proposal.

FAQ
What is a Pro Seller, versus regular Fiverr seller?
Fiverr Pro editors are hand-vetted and verified by Fiverr. Each of us has a proven track record in publishing. With under 1% of applicants accepted, working with Pro editors can help ensure you receive the experience, professionalism, and support you deserve.
Do you edit different kinds of children's stories and picture books?
Absolutely. From board books, to picture books, right up to middle-grade and young adult chapter books. Feel free to send me your manuscript and I'll be happy to offer a custom quote and timeline for your project.
How many rounds of editing will my story need?
Great question! Most writers only need to invest in a single round of development, but please send me your children's story or picture book, and I'll be happy to provide a clear proposal.
Do you offer copy editing, proofreading, and formatting?
As a developmental editor, I strategically maximize your ideas, style, and execution. I can also provide copy edits, but usually, the story must have undergone development first. I'm happy to refer you to technical editors for 'final polish' services like proofreading and formatting.
What file types do you accept?
When line-editing or copy-editing a story, MS Word docs are preferred. If you have a children's picture book with illustrations, PDFs might be preferable. But please feel free to reach out if you're unsure.
