About this Gig
As a developmental editor of children's books, I know it is difficult to find the feedback you need to make your book stand out in a crowded market. Chapter books bridge the gap between children who are learning to read, and those who can read well on their own.
As your children's book editor, I can help you:
- Choose/develop an idea suited to children who are starting to read independently
- Design the plot, structure, and pace of your book according to the genre's needs
- Analyse/develop your main character/s so that children can relate to them
- Assure that the language you have used is appropriate for grade level
- Understand how illustrations, dialogue and action-driven plots work together to create an engaging end product
- Understand if your chapter book will appeal to agents, publishers, parents and librarians - those who will be buying your book.
Feedback is in the form of an editorial letter. I will also provide comments on your manuscript with Track Changes (option 3).
Let's work together to get your manuscript off the slush pile and into the hands of readers!
NB: Please contact me before ordering so that I can help you choose the best option for your book.

I don't know where to begin! I write children's books and my coach recommended that I do a rhyming book because kids and parents love them. I wrote one and got an editor to edit it. She came back with minor changes. I still felt it didn't 'sound/beat' right. I found Lou and sent it off to her. She gave...
