Children's books and picture books
If you are submitting a children's book or other picture book for editing please include on each page a description of the image. The editor will need good context to understand how the text works with the images.
For Example:
Page 1:
Scene: A baby bunny and a baby turtle are standing in a school yard having a conversation.
Text:
Bunny: "I am light and fury and really fast. I could beat you in a race any day baby turtle."
Turtle: "Don't be so sure my good friend. I am steady and focused and have won many races against bunnies just like you."
