EDITOR for Children's story / book
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am in need of an editor for a children's story/book I am working on, specifically for an audience aged 5 to 10. My ideal candidate would have a background in Children's literature and be passionate about providing the best work possible regarding interest and experience with young children.
The story is fiction but is based on true facts about a dog being rescued from drowning. The story is written from the dog's point of view and is educational as well as entertaining. I would like to have suggestions for helping the story to "flow" correctly as I am concerned about the mix of fun information along with educational facts for teaching children about water safety.
At this time the story is just over 1200 words and may need to have some things removed.
The story needs to be presented in a printed book format, so it is important that the editor knows how to take into account the particularities of a printed book, such as page orientation and page turning.
Illustrations will not be necessary, as an illustrator has already been hired.
Also, the book is written in English for English speaking readers and does not need to be translated into another language at this time.
If you feel you fit this description, I look forward to reviewing your application. Thank you!
