Hi
I am looking for an editor to do some short term work on an existing childrens book called Ollies big bounce around Australia !
I was working with an editor who has had to stop working on the project due to personal circumstances and need some help to finish the project before submitting to agents and publishers potentially.
I have also used an illustrator to design 2 cover pages and a front cover (as shown in the images). The idea of the book is that Ollie (a mouse from the UK) is travelling to Oz with his family to visit his gran in Melbourne and meets Rufus the roo who takes him on a big bounce...or trip around Oz visiting famous places and well known animals from Oz. Each page has a pull down flap...so the animals are hiding and then they appear with the characters asking whats that sound...in the background are famous landmarks.
I would just need some help with putting together a punchy back cover blurb for publishers, a synopsis and also help with finishing the manuscript that the previous editor put together (basically an outline of each page which I can send through). One thing which I perhaps need to correct is Ollie meeting Rufus and jumping into his pouch to go along the journey and also the back page being reunited with his gran.
There isn't alot to change, just more help with the synopsis and back cover...and any other ideas you can help improve the storyline I would be really interested. I'm hoping to complete the work in 1-2 weeks and then start sending to publishers and agents.
Thanks so much ! :)
