Summary

Hi there, We are currently developing a rhyming children’s picture book (age 4-7) and are actively looking for an editor to take the book to the next level. The book is centered around a chosen family, community, and the many people who help a child grow. We’re especially hoping to work with someone experienced in picture books and lyrical/read-aloud storytelling. At this stage, we are looking for an editor who can help us refine the manuscript: - Overall flow, pacing, and read-aloud rhythm - Structural and language feedback - Age appropriateness and readability - Overall polish - Visual style feedback We already have an illustrator attached to the project and are now entering the refinement stage before exploring publishing options. If this sounds like a project you may be interested in, we would love to learn more about your process, availability, and rates. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We truly appreciate it and look forward to connecting. Thank you!
