If you have written a children's or a young adult (YA) book, you are venturing into a vast and competitive market. Consequently, you need to be confident that the
person editing or proofreading that text has the right knowledge and experience to do the job, as there are particular considerations pertaining to content and language that apply specifically to this area of fiction.
With ten years of in-house experience as a Children's Editor, and regular children's and young adult commissions as a freelance, I possess the requisite skills, which include:
- First Aid for Fairies and Other Fabled Beasts by Lari Don. Winner of the Scottish Children's Book Awards (formerly the Royal Mail Awards) and shortlisted for the Kelpies Prize
