For any children's writers

Tracy

I've put up a post about a new company specialising in editorial advice for children's books.

Natascha Biebow is a published author, has worked as a commissioning editor in children’s books for several years, and is the founder of Blue Elephant Storyshaping, which offers a range of creative services to children's book authors, illustrators, agents and publishers.

Natascha says - 'I have 17 years’ experience commissioning and editing pre-school novelty books, picture books, early readers, young fiction, and (pop-up) non-fiction at ABC, Dorling Kindersley and Random House Children’s Books in London.

I have just launched Blue Elephant Storyshaping, a coaching, editing and mentoring service aimed at helping children’s authors and illustrators shape their picture book and young fiction stories pre-submission.'

Thank you, Tracy. Natascha is also involved in the running of SCBWI isn't she? (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). She sounds very knowledgeable.

Hi Daisy - yes she is. I asked her to say a few words about SCBWI too.

So you did! I should have read it first. Thanks again.

Thanks, Tracy. I'm between critiques as we speak: I received a chunk of advice a couple of weeks ago and must now put it all into practice. Natascha's links with SCBWI look interesting.
