With over 40 years of combined experience working in the children's book industry, we've seen too many stories with great ideas in need of refined execution before they're sent to publishers. (But too many times, we see this after something has been shared. )
That's why we're offering a critique review to help you know what's working and what needs to be improved -- from your plot and characters to your readability and marketability.
All critiques include our Official Story Seal of Approval Rating from 1-3, so you'll instantly know if you need a full rewrite or if you're ready to prepare for publication. Get signed up below to reserve your spot.
