Who AM I?
About Me
Welcome! I’m a former elementary teacher with a dual B.S. degree in both Elementary Education and Children’s Literature. The delightful combination of my teaching experience and time spent with my 13 grandchildren makes me right at home in the world of children's literature.
My popular fairy book series has received numerous children's book awards, including the Moonbeam Children's Book Award for “Best Picture Book Series.”
My book, How to Master the Art of Writing Children’s Books, has been highly praised for teaching both new and experienced authors—step by step—how to write a successful children’s book.
My first How-to book, How to Create a Successful Children’s Picture Book, helps writers understand the world of self-publishing and successful marketing.
Best Fairy Books - Writer and Editor of Childrens' Books
If your goal is to produce a well-written children's picture book, it's important to ensure that the words and illustrations are just right. Children respond well to age-appropriate language, believable storylines, and characters they can identify with.
Children’s books contain fewer words than adult books, so every word counts. I will help you tell your story while capturing children’s interest and imagination. .
If your story is ready for a Comprehensive Edit, I will:
• Make the actual changes and help rewrite parts of the story if necessary
to make your message more meaningful.
• Create an exciting opening.
• Ensure the story has forward movement and an identifiable beginning,
middle, and end.
• Correct the grammar and punctuation.
• Correct the meter of rhyming books by adding or replacing words as needed.
• Add dialogue where needed.
• Add or delete words to tighten the language and enhance the story's meaning.
• Assist with character development.
• Edit your book summary and bio.
