As an editor, I specialize in picture books — especially manuscripts written in rhyme.
As a Neurodiverse creator, I give special priority to other ND creators, and projects featuring ND characters or topics of special interest.
Please Note: though I will mark any typos or grammatical mistakes that I notice, I am not a proofreader.
My rates are as follows:
