Children’s Adventure Book Development Edit

I have finished drafting a chapter book aimed at readers aged 7 – 10. I need now is an experienced children’s editor who can handle both developmental and language work. On the developmental side, I want feedback on plot flow, character consistency, chapter length, reading level, and whether the educational threads feel organic rather than preachy. On the language side, I’m looking for a smooth, age-appropriate polish—tightening sentences, correcting grammar and punctuation, and making sure dialogue rings true for young readers without losing excitement. Deliverables: • A marked-up manuscript (Word’s Track Changes or similar) showing all language edits. • An editorial letter summarising developmental notes, pacing suggestions, and any content gaps. • Optional short summary of next-step recommendations so I can move toward publication If you have a background in adventure fiction for middle-grade, familiarity with Australian bushfire contexts, or experience aligning moral themes with engaging plots, you’ll be a perfect fit. Please share a sample of previous children’s edits and indicate your typical turnaround time.
