Basic - I will professionally improve children's books.

I do not edit poetry or rhyming prose.

You have written your children's book. That is admirable. I will help set your story up for success.

• In addition to proofreading and editing, I will evaluate your book's appropriateness for specific ages and grades.
• Did you know that vocabulary, punctuation, sentence structure, pacing, and font affect a book's readability? I will evaluate vocabulary, punctuation, and sentence structure.
• I make suggestions regarding creating a popular and successful book. (Rule of Three, Character Evaluation, Conflict and Resolution, and much more).
• As an educator and author, I bring experience to the process. During my years teaching children ages four to nine and up, I have read countless diverse children's books. You want your book to shine, and so do I.
