Picture Book
Editing Package

 A trio of edits that will take your manuscript from amateur to expert level with a professional analysis, a detailed structural edit, and a line-by-line copy edit.

Introducing Your Book's New Best Friend!

Your readers are waiting.
It’s up to you to give them the story they need.

Editing is like doing the dishes. You can pre-rinse as much as you want, but there always comes a point when it’s time for the dishwasher to take over.

At the end of the day…

Every author needs a professional editor.

But if you’re anything like my now-published authors were when they first started, you probably feel stuck or don’t know how to find one.

If you can relate, then the Picture Book Editing Package is the compact resource for you.

You CAN inspire your future readers. You CAN be proud of your writing. You CAN become a top-quality author.

Are you ready for that?

Can I use this editing package for a middle grade novel?

No. This Editing Package is for picture books only. Please be aware that our editor will not accept picture book manuscripts over 1,500 words.

How long will it take for me to receive the feedback after I submit my story?

Normally revisions are returned quickly, but for each submission, the editor may take up to 3 weeks after receiving your manuscript to provide feedback.

How long do I have to use this editing package?

You have three months from the time you submit your manuscript to receive all three edits and make your revisions.

What about confidentiality?

We respect the privacy of our clients and will not disclose any information you share except as outlined for the purpose of providing the Editing Package. We will not share your manuscript or idea with anyone outside ML Publishing and will not claim it as our own, reproduce it, or publish it in any way.

What if I don’t agree with the editor’s feedback?

As the author, YOU have the final say on which edits to apply. However, please know that no matter your decision, the review provided by the editor is final and there will be no additional edits, accommodations, or refunds provided.
Remember, we edit not to change your story, but to offer an outside perspective.
