Hello, my name is San (short for Sally-Anne). I would dearly love to edit your children's book. What benefits would I bring to you? Well, I‘m a trained professional writer and editor. As part of a broader journalistic career I have commissioned books, worked with authors to develop books, published books and edited books under contract. In all, nearly 60 books, several of them for children (under 10 years of age). As editor of Choice magazine I introduced a children’s page into the publication. Ever since I was the older sister to younger siblings I have regularly read to the young ones in my family (and others).
Two of the jobs I have had in my few weeks on Freelancer have been children's books (please see the authors’ reviews on my profile).
I would be able to talk you through the various stages that make up the full publishing process and I would be available for advice or as a sounding board through those processes. I have included that sort of follow-on mentoring as part of the bid amount, as just giving you my knowledge on something isn't particularly time-consuming. If you need a slab of my time further on, then I might have to ask you for a financial contribution, but I would prefer not to charge speculatively now for time that may not be necessary.
Thank you for reading my bid. There is not enough room here to elaborate on my broader background, but I am happy to do so. Please contact me if you would like to know more, or to discuss your book.
