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.
