About this Gig

Are you creating a children's book or illustrated story and want it to truly work visually as well as narratively?

I'm a professional illustrator with over 7 years real-world experience bringing stories to life on over 40 picture books. I offer manuscript editing specifically from an illustrators perspective, helping you refine not just your writing but how it translates into compelling, publishable visuals.

Most editors focus on words but I focus on how your story will look, flow, and feel on the page.


I will help you:

  • Strengthen visual storytelling and scene clarity
  • Identify moments that need illustration vs narration
  • Improve pacing for page turns and engagement
  • Spot over-description (a common issue in picture books)
  • Align your manuscript with industry expectations


Whether you're self-publishing or preparing to query, I will help make your story illustrator-ready and marketable.
