Project details
Looking to have your picture book edited? I’d love to help!
Picture books are a unique sort of project – they might be short, but a lot goes into them. I’ll work with you to tick off those boxes, and clean up the story so children and adults alike will enjoy it.
For copy editing, I’ll review your work for errors in spelling and grammar, consistency, clarity, and facts. In the higher tier, I’ll also line edit for a smoother read, ensuring the ebb and flow of the story are more engaging for readers. For proofreading, I’ll comb through the lines for any lingering errors, misplaced punctuation, and the like.
Whether you’re working towards publication or crafting a bedtime story for a child in your life, we’ll work together to raise your project to the next level!
**If your book is written in verse, consider sending me a message first, especially if it hasn’t been edited by a professional yet. As a poetry editor as well as picture book editor, I can do a quick scan to see if the story is ready for this stage of editing, or if the verse needs a little extra love first.

Editing needed for a unique book of recipes in prose poetry form
Working with Kaila was delightful. She was engaging and pleasant to work with as a person, and she had a real facility in editing my book of poetry, both at the more conceptual, general stage, and in the more minute details of specific words and placement of commas. She also did a nice job organizing the sequence of poems. Kaila was competent and attentive throughout. I highly recommend Kaila for any editing project.

Poetry Collection Copy and Line Editing
I am overwhelmed with positive emotions. Kaila passed all of my expectations. She made me aware of my wants and needs for an editor and even within my manuscript. She fit perfectly on my team and I wasn't looking for perfection. I appreciate all of her patience. If it wasn't for her calmness while walking me through the process, I would have probably prolonged this project further. Her notes are above average and communication is impeccable. She left me with all my questions answered so I didn't need a second round. 1000 stars <3

Children's Book editing
I loved working with Kaila! This was my first time writing a children's book so I had lots of questions and Kaila was really helpful in her explanations. I learned a lot about different types of rhymes, grammar and punctuation. Kaila was always on time with the milestones, if not early, and she was very easy to communicate with. I would definitely work with her again!
