What Makes an Editor Right for Children’s Books?
21 hours ago by Peter Henley
The right editor for children’s books understands how kids read, think, and imagine. Experienced children’s book editors focus on simple language, clear flow, and age-appropriate tone. They help shape the story without changing the author’s voice, making it more engaging and easy to follow. A good editor also checks pacing, structure, and clarity. For new authors, the right editor turns a good idea into a story children can truly connect with.
