Jenny Bowman | Children’s Book Editor

Children’s Book Editor & Developmental Editor for Picture Books, Chapter Books & Middle Grade Fiction

The editorial partner your children’s book manuscript deserves.

I’m Jenny Bowman, a children’s book editor with 15+ years of experience, trusted by NYT bestselling authors and proud to work with authors around the globe.

I love being a children’s book editor, so helping authors realize their dreams is not just a job for me—it’s also my passion. My clients range from new writers to veteran children’s authors. The creative individuals and teams I work with publish in a number of ways, including self and traditional publication.

Whether you’re drafting your first children’s book or polishing a manuscript for submission, I can help.

I am a strong believer in the power of words.

The ways in which we weave them are the paths by which our stories are told.

I believe that we all have stories to tell. Please take time to explore my site where you can learn a little more about me, the children’s book editorial services I offer, and the writing I do.

It is in my words that I find my freedom. Where do your words take you?

Do you have an idea or need help getting started? Book a consultation with me.

1-Hour Consultation — $280 This is best for a deeper dive into your manuscript with more focused feedback, query package review, publishing path decisions, or if you want to cover multiple aspects of your project. Submit up to 2,500 words of material in advance.
