I'm looking for some guidance with writing a series of 5 children's books. I think I need someone who can give me direction on my writing - get it formatted/edited and get me a publisher. Then I think the step after that is illustration. I need someone in the industry and with the expertise to help and guide me. This is just starting. I have the books written - I just need guidance on what steps to take next.

The author of six published novels and a collection of short stories (see my freelancer profile for full details), I have over ten years' editing experience. In that time, I have worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors and the self-published to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, YA, sci-fi, fantasy, children's, crime/thriller etc. Familiar with all publishing standards, I would edit your manuscript in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses etc. Secondly, a more creative/techincal edit focusing on sentence structure, word choice/flow and, of course, the kind of formatting which best suits your series of stories. Thirdly, a final edit to ensure that your work has that essential professional polish. Additional info: I have extensive knowledge of both the US & UK markets, in regards to agents/publishers and would happily assist you in drafting your approach (introductory letter and synopsis), I use Track Changes in Word and can make a start right away. The children's market (I have worked on several children's books over the last twelve months) is very competitive, but there are some wonderful indie publishers out there on the look for high quality material, especially if the book is accompanied by fine illustrations that have already been commissioned).

Hi, I'd like to help you with your children's books. What are they about? I have edited many children's books. That would be the first step — we could start by editing one of them and I could give you some guidance from there. You would get an illustrator/designer and they would take the text and make a PDF and then you would get that proofread. You could self-publish or go about getting an agent - depending on how good the books are. I think there's research to be done on your part to decide which way to go. Please supply the word count of one book and I can give you an accurate bid on editing it. I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. I would use track changes and offer comments. Please see the reviews and portfolio on my profile page. I can send you a list of edited projects and/or direct you to some of my work online if you like. Thank you.

Hello! My name is Maria. I'm an illustrator, I did the technique at the School of Visual Arts Martin A. Malharro in Mar del Plata, Argentina. I am really interested in the project, I have experience in editorial illustration, children's illustration, character design, environmental design, graphic design. I have a good management of indesing, photoshop and illustration. I also develop comfortably in trational techniques such as watercolor, graphite and ink. In fact, I prefer to always work mixing traditional techniques with digital ones, but I can do it differently if it is necessary for the work. I consider that I am the right person for this project not only because I have experience illustrating books, but because in the university I was trained in such a way that I could carry out the complete elaboration of a book from the graphic to the edition of the texts. I'm also passionate about books and always try to outdo myself. I invite you to visit my portfolio, where I have several examples of how I work. If you are interested in my portfolio, I can give you a sample illustration to give you a better idea of ​​how I develop. Thanks for your time
