Specializing in children's literature and publishing

Writing is a
solitary endeavor.

Becoming a published author takes a team.

Do you have the seed of an idea for a children's book and want to know more about the industry? Does your critique group love your manuscript, and now you're wondering what the next step is? Do you want to know what to make of a rejection letter you've received?


Catherine Frank Editorial Services, LLC, can offer guidance, editorial feedback, and serve as a general liaison between you and the sometimes confusing world of children's publishing. I can help you turn the dream of "just wanting to be published" into a reality.

With more than a decade of experience in the trenches at Viking Children's Books working on numerous award-winning books, I know the ins and outs of how to target a query letter, how to find the right agent, and—most importantly—how to help an author improve a manuscript so that it's the best it can possibly be.
