Picture yourself at a social gathering where someone asks, “What do you do for a living?” Jaws drop as you respond, “I am an author.” Have you dreamed of publishing a children’s book? Writing books for young readers can be an enormously satisfying—and sometimes quite profitable—pursuit.

Even one hour a day at the computer can produce a publishable manuscript that may become a book available at online sites like Amazon.com, in bookstores, school libraries, and your neighborhood library.

Kids Book Doctors can help make that dream come true. We are published authors and independent editors who specialize in diagnosing and treating manuscripts with an eye to increasing the appeal to book publishers. We read, analyze, recommend, edit, and rewrite manuscripts. We accept clients whose manuscripts have been rejected, and those who seek a professional touch before seeking a publisher.

We also write query letters, those critical knocks on a book publisher’s door. If the door opens, we can prepare a professional book proposal that publishers often require before issuing a contract and an advance on royalties.

For individuals who have a great idea, without the inclination to write, we will serve as ghost writers, preparing a manuscript anonymously so that it can be submitted for publication under their name.

The path to authorship can begin—without any cost or obligation—by clicking on the First Step in Kids Book Doctors list of services.
