Creative Support for Writers
Children’s Book Editing and Publishing Services
The books we write for children become a part of them—they put words to their emotions, answer their questions, and open their hearts beyond their own experiences. We owe it to young readers to make the very best books we can.
What Writers Say
As my editor for Nerd Camp, Kiley asked all the right questions, helped me develop the plot more fully, and cheered for my geeky characters from start to finish. To this day, I include her first editorial letter in my presentations for schools to show the importance of revision and the difference a good editor can make. Kids often gasp when I tell them how different the ending of the book was before I read Kiley’s notes, and with good reason! Nerd Camp is a notably better book thanks to her expert guidance and bottomless support.
— Elissa Brent Weisman, author of the popular Nerd Camp series
During my fifty years of publishing, I have worked with many editors: Kiley Frank is exceptionally insightful, articulate, and personable. Put your text in her hands and she'll help you write a better book.
— Avi, Newbery Medal winning author
“Kiley Frank is the kind of editor who reads deeply and knows exactly the right questions to ask, questions that opened my manuscript to new possibilities.”
— Marion Dane Bauer, Newbery Honor Winner
“I will never be able to thank Kiley enough! She was a developmental editor for my memoir, The Goodbye Diaries. From the moment we began working together, I could tell she really understood my book and what was special about it, and she knew just how to improve it. Her advice was specific, filled with helpful examples and resources, and -- the most valuable -- it really made me pause and think. It was as if a fairy godmother had swept through my pages and spread pixie dust all around. Kiley is just that, pure magic.”
