Children's Literature

Founder Amy Maranville has written six picture books herself, as well as two animated stories, but her passion (and ours) is to help others with their work. 

To date, Kraken has helped more than 20 authors complete books, and 90% of our authors have gone on to be published.

Editing and consulting support for picture book authors starts at $300 for proof-reading, and $450 for a single round of review.

Opening up the world of books for a young reader is a big responsibility. Let us guide you through the reading levels, troupes, and key elements of a young audience.

Line-by-line edits and content support for early readers can be priced by hour, package, or word count, depending on your needs. 

Romance or mystery, contemporary or historical, Kraken can help you polish and finalize your work. Line-by-line and content edits for long children's fiction start at $0.01 per word.
