The review is designed to give you clear direction so you can move forward with more confidence.

A Story Review looks at the big-picture shape of your picture book manuscript, including the heart of the story, character, emotional thread, problem, ending, wordiness and picture book potential.

It does not include proofreading, line editing, rewriting, formatting, publishing advice, or a publishing guarantee.

An Illustration Review looks at one picture book spread, artwork, or visual story moment.

It includes feedback on storytelling, composition, character emotion, colour, mood, text space and visual clarity.

It does not include a redraw, paint-over, technical tutorial, full portfolio review, or publishing guarantee.

Each review covers one manuscript or one illustration.

If you would like feedback on more than one piece, please purchase a separate review for each one.

Please email the version you would like reviewed. If you need to replace it, contact me first. Once your review has started, I may not be able to include further changes.

Yes. If you have received a Story Review or Illustration Review and would like a quick check on your updated version, you can purchase a Review Check-In.

A Review Check-In is a mini follow-up for the same manuscript or illustration. It is designed to let you know if your changes are heading in the right direction, or if there is still one area that may need adjusting.

This is not a full second review. It does not include detailed notes, a full reassessment, rewriting, editing, a redraw, or a paint-over.

Review Check-Ins must be submitted within 2 months of receiving your original review.
