About this Gig
I will proofread and line-edit your children's picture book to improve clarity, flow, and read-aloud quality while carefully preserving your unique author voice.
All packages include the same professional editing; only the word count and delivery time differ.
Writing for children needs more than correct grammar. The text must flow naturally when read aloud, suit the target age group, and keep young listeners engaged.
I'm an experienced children's book editor offering proofreading and sentence-level line editing. My approach is sensitive and collaborative: I'll polish your writing without over-editing or imposing my own style. Your story should still sound like you.
What I do:
- Fix spelling, grammar, and punctuation
- Improve clarity, rhythm, and read-aloud flow
- Tidy dialogue and basic formatting
- Check consistency of voice, tone, and tense
- Track edits and explain significant rewrites in comments
What's not included:
- Full structural editing or ghostwriting
- Complete rhyme/meter overhauls (see my rhyming picture book gig)
You'll receive a tracked-changes file plus a clean final version.

FAQ
Why should I choose you?
Former teacher and children’s book editor with a strong Fiverr track record since 2014. You’ll get careful sentence-level edits, clear communication, and a polished manuscript that still sounds like you.
Can you fix rhyme and metre?
For full rhyme and metre editing, please see my separate rhyming picture book gig. This gig is best for prose texts or light rhythm refinements.
Can you help me decide on age suitability?
Yes. If requested, I’ll include a brief comment on the age range the manuscript seems best suited to. This is not a full developmental assessment.
What if my manuscript is over the word limit?
Please add extra words or message me for a custom offer before ordering. This keeps everything fair and avoids delays or cancellations.
Can you edit both American and British English?
Yes. I’m familiar with both British and American English. Just let me know your preference when you place your order.
What files can I send?
Word is best for tracked changes. Google Docs link is fine. Pages is fine — I can export it to Word. PDF is usually ok too, although I may need to export it to Word to edit properly with tracked changes.
I would like a custom offer. Can you do this for me? What information do you need?
Please message me with your word count and the file to be edited, or a short sample. If you have a set budget, feel free to mention that too.
Will you rewrite my whole book?
No. This gig focuses on proofreading and sentence-level line editing. I’ll suggest rephrasing where needed in comments, but I won’t completely rewrite the story.
My story isn’t finished yet. Can I still order?
It’s best if your manuscript is complete. If you’re still drafting or unsure about structure, please message me first so I can recommend the right service.
What does a revision include?
Revisions cover corrections, questions or reasonable adjustments to my original edit. New passages, rewritten manuscripts or changes to the original brief require a separate quote.

Smooth communication and the result just as expected with several useful corrections. I must say that initially, in AI times, I was hesitant about whether the service was necessary, but it was good value for money and definitely useful! I believe we can collaborate again.
