I will critique your picture book and help it shine

Hi, I'm Polly, an award-winning picture book author and I'm here to critique your picture book. I will give a line-by-line critique, as well as a plot and character overview, and suggestions on how to improve your story. I will help resolve any rhyming issues and discuss where your book fits into the market. I have critiqued over 600 stories, a number of which have gone on to become published. I am a reader for the 'WriteMentor' Picture Book competition, and have read 100's of entries, gaining a real insight in what it takes to stand out.
