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.

FAQ
My book manuscript is over 1000 words, can you still help?
Of course. Industry standard for picture books is normally 500-800 words. However, for whatever reason, if your picture book is over 1000 words, I can set up a custom offer for you.
Why would an edit from an illustrator help my book?
An illustrator-focused edit ensures your story works visually, not just in words. I help shape page turns, pacing, and moments where images should replace text—so your picture book feels engaging, industry-ready, and truly comes to life on the page.
