Looking for an Editor

[Janette]

What is up, people?

So, I'm very excited to have a new book in the works with a new self publishing author. Lovely guy, but his story needs editing. Does anyone have any leads for an editor with experience working on rhyming childrens stories? I looked on the SCBWI site, but didnt have much luck finding anything.

Thanks in advance!

@Jeremy-Ross Thank you!

@christaelrod Hi! Thank you, but I think the author found someone to use.

@Jeremy-Ross Agree Reedsy is a great resource. I've used them for illustration and finding editors/copy editors.

@Janette for future reference, SCBWI's The Book has a Freelance Editors Directory that lists recommended (and legit) editors that specialize in children's books. This year, that chapter starts on page 211. There are some great editors in there!

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Oh, I'm a prize idiot. I even downloaded The Book LOL
