Critique and Editing Services for Children's Writers
As a published writer and long time member of several critique groups, I have critiqued literally hundreds of manuscripts. Many have gone on to publication. I have also served for 3 years critiquing creative writing manuscripts of junior high and high school students for a Teen Arts Festival. Although I specialize in children's literature, I provide critique services to writers of both children's and adult's literature, including poetry.
