Kidlit Editing Workbook | Edit Your Children's Book in 4 Rounds

Edit your children's book in 4 rounds instead of all at once.

Most writers try to edit everything at the same time. Characters, plot, word choice, typos, all in one sweep. That's why editing feels endless.

This workbook splits it into 4 rounds. You finish one, move to the next, and you always know which part you're working on.

THE 4 ROUNDS...

1. Characters. A character card to develop who's in your story, plus a dos and don'ts cheat sheet for building a cast around your main character.
2. Plot. A plot outline analysis covering 3 structures (the classic 3-obstacle, the midpoint, and the how-to or list), plus a Story Plot Checklist.
3. Writing technique. Voice, action, and pace, with a worksheet for tightening each one.
4. Final edits. The Kidlit Editing Checklist, and the read-it-out-loud test that catches what your eyes skip.

WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE...

1. Fillable PDF workbook, roughly 17 pages
2. Character Profile Card
3. The Dos and Don'ts of Characters cheat sheet
4. Plot Analysis Worksheet
5. Story Plot Checklist
6. Story Writing Techniques Worksheet
7. Kidlit Editing Checklist

Who's this workbook for?

This is for you if you've got a draft and you're not sure it's ready to send to agents and publishers. Working through it shows you which parts of your story still need attention before you start submitting.

It won't give you outside feedback on your story. This is for the editing you do yourself first.
