Services

If you need help taking your manuscript or query letter to the next level, I offer critique services for board books, picture books, and magazine articles, both in rhyme and prose. Critiques will focus on big picture items like character, plot, pacing, voice, structure, conflict, and resolution. I’ll also comment on grammar and punctuation.

As a traditionally-published children’s author, and a long-time member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), I have experience on both sides of the table. My own work has been critiqued more times than I can count, and I have been able to offer feedback on hundreds of manuscripts over the last few years.

To make the most of a paid critique, I highly recommend sharing the manuscript with a writing friend or critique group before it comes to me.

A paid critique is not a guarantee that you will be able to sell your book to a publisher, but it is a step in the right direction.

I love helping writers on their journey to publication!
