Hello, my name is San. I would enjoy bringing your children’s book vision to life.
Why choose me? Well, in the course of my career as a trained professional journalist, writer and editor, I have commissioned books, collaborated to develop books and edited books under contract. I have done everything from developing or analysing structure and writing or rewriting extensively to proofreading and layout. In all, close to 60 books, several of them for children (under 10 years of age).
As editor of Choice magazine (Australia's national consumer product rating magazine) I introduced a two-page children’s section into the publication, writing much of the content for four years, and supervising all of it (items ranged from 500 to 2500 words).
I read to my children regularly when they were young and still read to the young ones in the family. Two of my first jobs on this site were children’s books (please see the reviews). I am in the final stages of a third.
I also have experience mentoring less experienced writers and editors.
My background is working fulltime for national newspaper, magazine and book publishers in Australia and for two large Australian government departments.
Thank you for reading my bid. Please contact me if there is anything else I can tell you to support it and to discuss how I can benefit your project
