Developmental Edit Your Children Story

About:

** PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER **

You’ve written your children’s story… now what? Whether you’re publishing Traditionally or pursuing Self-Publishing, I’ll help get your manuscript organized and to a finished product to send to an agent, publisher, or to progress to publish yourself.

What I Offer:

• Constructive Feedback. This includes in-text edits, marginal comments and an overall review written at the end.
• Checking Word Choices. I check for age-appropriateness and that words are at the correct reading-level. If you're unsure what the reading-level that your story is, I'll let you know. 
• I don't proofread, this is only a critique. 

Additional Services:

• Book Layout Info. Questions about the front and back matter? 
• Art Directions. Questions about hiring an illustrator? Please note: I don't write art directions, but I'll critique them (additional cost). 
• Illustration Critique. I'll critique a mock-up of your book, offering advice on the illustrations and layout (additional cost). 

**For Children’s Chapter Books, please message me for a custom order.

Have a question? Message me! It’d be a pleasure to hear from you. =)

Melissa's feedback was incredible. Before even starting to work with her she had already given such helpful feedback on a short sample of my work. I knew I had to go ahead and work with her. Her comments and in-text changes were insightful and well thought out. It was a great addition to my work to have her look through the manuscript and undoubtedly her feedback has strengthened my work, which truly is the point of a developmental edit. I look forward to working with Melissa on future project, my experience was absolutely great! Thank you so much!
