Because of the special nature of children’s literature, Red-Line Editing
Services has editors who understand your special needs. We offer the full array
of critiquing and editing services that we do for larger manuscripts, but gear
those services toward a younger audience. They will not only review your
work for grammar and punctuation, but also style, and suitability to the age of
your intended market.

Children's Book Editing
Because the variety of children's books as
well as the suitability issues for the target markets, we are unable to
quote here a specific fee to have your children's book edited. We ask that
you email us your manuscript so that our manager of the Children's Division
can give you a specific quote. Our email address to inquiry about children's
book edits is
