Title: Recommendations for content/developmental editors for MG?
Post by: annarose-johnson on September 30, 2019, 10:54 AM

Hi!

I am looking for an affordable content/developmental editor to look over the first 15K words of my middle grade historical novel. If you have any recommendations for editors, I would love to hear them!

Thanks so much!

:welcome  I can personally recommend our own mrh, Marcia Hoehne for both big picture and line edits. You can see her information here: http://www.marciahoehne.com/critiquing-and-editing.html

Another person to check out is Allison Weiss, former editorial director at Skypony who is now offering freelance services. I worked with her on my second novel (before the entire children's staff was fired) and she is amazing!
