⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Rebecca is very pleasant to work with! The most skilled and talented children’s book writer I've hired on Upwork. Her experience as a children’s book writer and editor is outstanding. I’ll hire her again and again.” Every child longs to go on an adventure, and taking children to a world full of adventure on the wings of creatively written words is the best feeling ever. I have always been fascinated with words and seeing children’s faces come alive when I tell them my stories pushed and encouraged me to put them down on paper. I have written children's fiction and non-fiction books. I write children's stories, inspirational stories about sport and science heroes, dinosaur books, stories about helicopters, crazy facts for kids, poems, songs, fairy tales, pirate stories, and grammar books. My love for children led me to take up a teaching job where I love making young ones smile and laugh joyfully at my stories. After listening to awesome stories, their happiness has been my major drive because children are the leaders of tomorrow. I have worked with numerous organizations and schools that want to impact awesome adventure experiences in children by helping them craft a masterpiece. Below are the services I have to offer; ✔️ Writing children stories, fiction and non-fiction (sport heroes, facts books for children etc) ✔️ Writing and editing stories for children for all age groups. ✔️ Writing STEM books for children ✔️ Writing English grammar books ✔️ Professional editing of stories, comic and cartoon texts Aside from making children's faces light up with my awesome writeups, I also find pleasure in delivering a high-end masterpiece to my clients with 100% satisfaction. If you work with me, you’re guaranteed to get; ✅ Regular communications ✅ Timely deliveries ✅ Children's friendly words ✅ Creative ideas and flair As a children's story writer and editor, I have read books from great authors to learn new words and better understand children's habits in reading and learning. Below are some of my favorite authors; ✔️ C.S Lewis ✔️ Roald Dahl ✔️ J.K Rowling ✔️ Chris Colfer ✔️ Jen Calonita Here is another review from one of my happy and satisfied clients; ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is the second or third time that we hired Rebecca. She is an excellent writer with high quality and punctual work. We’ll hire her again if we have similar projects in the future. Thank you, Rebecca." I know you also want to be as happy and satisfied as my clients 😀😀😀. I am available to work with you to deliver a masterpiece. If you love to see some of my writeups, you can inbox me, and we’ll take it up from there. I’ll be looking forward to your invite or chat.

I help authors, educational brands, publishers, and children’s media companies develop emotionally engaging, age-appropriate content that connects with young audiences and gets discovered by parents, educators, and communities searching for it. As a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and Certified Peer Counsellor, I bring developmental insight, educational expertise, and classroom experience into all my work. My work as a developmental editor and writing coach focuses on helping children's content connect with its intended audience. This remains my primary goal, whether I am strengthening a story, developing educational resources, supporting curriculum goals, or creating content for children, parents, and educators. For more than 15 years, I have worked at the intersection of early childhood education, children's media, publishing, and digital content creation. This experience allows me to approach projects through both an educational and editorial lens while keeping the needs of children, parents, educators, and organizations in mind. Types of projects I am currently interested in include: • Children's developmental editing (picture books to full manuscripts) • SEL storytelling (drawing on classroom experience) • EdTech (educational content development) • SEO (blog writing, website optimization and link building) • Content strategy (print, online and multimedia) My background includes serving as the former Managing Editor of BC Parent Magazine (both print & online), for one of British Columbia's leading parenting publications. I also contributed as a guest blogger and educational content creator for parenting and youth-focused platforms including Vancouver Mom, FindMyKids, and Kidzworld USA. In addition to editorial work, I have written SEO-focused web content for schools, educational brands, and early learning organizations. This includes landing pages and blog content. I also offer audits and link building for educational websites and blogs, helping schools, children's brands, and parenting organizations strengthen their content strategy, improve search visibility, and better connect with parents, educators, and prospective families. Through my own blog and social media channels at Kids News & Reviews, which expands to Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube, I have built strong organic search visibility within the parenting and early learning space, with nearly 200 backlinks, 87 referring websites, first-page Google rankings, and educational content that continues to attract long-term organic traffic and engagement. Over the years, my work has taken me from preschool classrooms and music programs to parenting publications, children's media, curriculum development, and educational product reviews. I have also enjoyed mentoring kids and teens as they develop their own stories, articles, books, songs, and creative projects. As both an educator and content creator, I regularly bring books, toys, music, educational products, and curriculum resources into my classroom. I do this by creating unique reviews that incorporate student experiences and my personal perspective as a preschool teacher and early learning music educator. Whether you need a developmental edit for your latest story or book, curriculum support, or strategic guidance for your children’s media, I bring a collaborative, developmentally informed approach by focusing on emotional connection, educational value, and audience engagement. Paid sample edits and editorial consultations are available to ensure the right fit before beginning larger projects.

I'm Tricia, a native English editor, specializing in proofreading, copyediting, and stylistic/line editing for books (from non-fiction works to novels), articles, manuals, blog posts, business documents, and web content. I'll deliver clear, polished, and engaging text — on time, every time. I'm detail-focused, easy to work with, and quick to respond to messages. As a lifelong grammar guru, I turn good writing into great content. I'll refine grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and flow, while maintaining your unique voice and style. I have a sharp eye for detail, a gentle and collaborative approach, and maybe a touch of perfectionism. However, you'll never have to worry about judgment from me; I love working through messy first drafts! I specialize in editing works for children and Christian literature, and I especially love it when I'm able to combine both of these specialties. My editing experience also includes a wide range of projects, including the following: • Book editing (fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, picture books, self-published works) • Business writing (reports, manuals, proposals, presentations, marketing copy) • Web content (blog posts, articles, landing pages, product descriptions, SEO copy) • Nonprofit materials (newsletters, speeches, fundraising appeals) I respond promptly, deliver on schedule, and work with care so you can feel confident your writing is in expert hands. And you don't have to take my word for it — you can check out my Upwork feedback from the many satisfied clients I've had the pleasure of working with. If you're ready to take your writing to the next level, let’s talk. I look forward to hearing from you.
