Summary

I'm looking for an experienced children's book editor to help polish my rhyming picture book series, Dog Detective. The manuscript is complete, and I'm seeking someone who can: • Review line-by-line meter and rhythm • Strengthen rhyme patterns and flow • Ensure the story reads naturally aloud for young children (ages 3-7) • Identify any areas where wording feels clunky, forced, or inconsistent • Preserve the heart, humor, and educational elements of the story Dog Detective follows Charlie and his backyard friends as they investigate mysterious creatures like the Goo Gobbler and Shadow Seeker, only to discover the science behind the mystery. If you're a children's book editor with experience editing rhyming picture books, I'd love to connect. Please comment below or send me a message with your experience, portfolio, rates, and availability. Thank you!
