Story manuscript

Built around
your starting point.
For authors shaping a picture book, early-reader story, or another age-specific children’s manuscript.
Young readers need a clear emotional path. We consider repetition, read-aloud rhythm, page turns, and the information illustrations can convey before deciding which words the text must carry.
Talk through your brief ↗Bring your questions.
And a little context.
Bring notes, recordings, a rough outline, or a few pages you love. You don’t need a complete plan to start a useful writing conversation.
Clear decisions at each checkpoint.

Your questions, answered.
How do you choose a reading level?
Start with the intended age, whether the book is read aloud, and its format. Vocabulary and sentence length follow those choices.
What should I send for a quote?
For children’s books, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the approximate word count. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.
What will I receive from children’s books?
The proposed scope covers age and reading-level brief, story manuscript, page-turn suggestions. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.
How are revisions and timelines agreed?
We review the material and scope first, then agree on milestones and feedback rounds in the proposal. Send consolidated comments at each review stage; additional work or a changed brief is quoted separately.
