Editing Children’s Books 101 One-on-One Instruction

$240.00

While there are aspects of editing that apply to all genres, children’s books are unique. If you want to edit children’s books, you need an understanding of the differences between editing for adults and editing for children. This class will cover an overview of children’s books, the reading levels, and what is required for each level. It will also address technical aspects of children’s books including characterization, point of view, dialogue, plot, pacing, vocabulary, and readability.
