Sophia Gholz – Editor

I have extensive experience developing manuscripts from initial concept through editorial revision and publication, working across genres and age categories. I bring a strong editorial eye, market awareness, and professional publishing experience to every project.

I offer developmental editing, query letter feedback, and publishing guidance for authors at various stages of the writing process. My goal is to help authors strengthen their manuscripts, clarify their vision, and position their work for the market while preserving the voice and heart of each story.

My own published work is primarily in children's picture books, though my editorial experience spans everything from board books to adult novels. For children's books, I edit both fiction and nonfiction. In novels, I enjoy romance, fantasy, dystopian, magical realism, historical and contemporary, as well as LGBTQ+ stories.

I hold professional memberships with:

- Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI)

- Mensa International

- ACES: The Society for Editors
