Doris Fisher – Editor

Picture Books R Me! Edit and write picture books of 1000 words or less & queries. Fiction, nonfiction, prose & poetry. Nationally published.

Overview

I am a nationally published children’s picture book author, three of them in rhyme. I have been editing and writing for others for more than fifteen years. I have attended 40+ conferences for children’s writers and am a former kindergarten teacher. I know the age level and targeted vocabulary very well.I have been writing for children for 15+ years. Picture books are my love. I only write literature for children. Helping writers achieve their dream of a fabulous picture book or children's story is my goal in all my freelancing. I know the structure of picture books, word count, and age level of any reader who can't wait to read my client's writing. Suggestions and comments are made in a constructive manner. I usually edit changes in red text and make comments and picture book advice in blue text. My edits are thorough and I continue to edit until my client is satisfied. Picture Books R Me!

Doris is a clear communicator, thoughtful, her notes helpful, and not intrusive. I hired her for Proof reading + for grammar and small notes if words bump etc, for a poem and she delivered! She delivered under time allotted and was always professional. I appreciate her help.

The feedback provided was helpful in terms of some of the suggestions and the notes provided for why she made those suggestions.
