Editing children’s books requires a special approach — one that sees the world through a child’s eyes. Unlike other genres, children’s literature tests an author’s creativity and their ability to connect with young readers at their specific stage of development. Kids are drawn to books crafted just for them — with age-appropriate language, relatable characters, believable adventures, and plots that capture their imaginations.
When self-publishing, the author makes most of the creative and business decisions. While freelance children’s editors may offer developmental feedback or evaluations, they often don’t see the project through from start to finish like an in-house editor would. At Guinness Press Inc, we take a different approach. We commit to guiding your book every step of the way — shaping your manuscript with expert care and helping it reach its full potential. Our mission is to apply our deep knowledge of the children’s book market and our understanding of what makes a story truly shine for young readers.
Hire one of our experienced children's book editors to receive detailed suggestions that breathe life into your story, transforming it into a favorite among young audiences. Our editors are fluent in the ways children think, communicate, and learn. They can evaluate not only your text but also your illustrations from the fresh, unbiased perspective of your target reader. They also understand the unique stylistic touches and structure that define great children’s writing.
We’ll help tailor your manuscript to the right reading level, ensuring it resonates with the intended age group. Our editors are skilled in refining the key elements of strong fiction — from character development and conflict to theme, setting, and dialogue. Whether you're working on a picture book, early chapter book, middle-grade novel, or young adult story, our team can help you polish every element to perfection.
A professional editor always remembers: the best children’s books deliver meaningful messages in ways that are fun, imaginative, and perfectly suited for young minds. No matter the format — picture books, chapter books, middle-grade fiction, or YA novels — Guinness Press Inc offers expert children’s book editing services to help your work connect with readers and succeed in the market.
Our skilled ghostwriters bring your narrative to life with insightful interviews, thorough research, and captivating storytelling that makes your book one-of-a-kind.
