All applicants must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement before receiving the manuscript. The story, characters, world, and all associated copy are the exclusive intellectual property of PMA Group Holdings Ltd. Any applicant who reproduces or distributes any element of the manuscript without authorisation will be subject to legal action. By submitting a proposal, applicants confirm they accept this requirement. Project Title Children's Picture Book Copywriter — Word Reduction & Story Polish (NDA Required) About the Project Pocket Money Adventures (PMA) is a UK-based children's financial education programme targeting the September 2028 statutory financial education requirement for UK primary schools. Our first picture book, Ava Saves Up, tells the story of Ava the Elephant, a seven-year-old in a futuristic city called Silverton, who learns to manage her money and control impulses using a somatic habit called the Money Tap (TAP TAP PAUSE). The book has been written, fully illustrated, and designed. We need an experienced children's book copywriter to reduce the story word count and polish the language to match the rhythm and vocabulary of published picture books for ages 4–7. What We Need You will receive the full manuscript (PDF). Your job: 1. Reduce the story text to 500–750 words total (current: approximately 1,800 words). 2. Retain every story beat, every character, and every financial education concept. 3. Match the tone and rhythm of picture books aged 4–7 (comparable titles: The Smartest Giant in Town, Elmer, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus). 4. Preserve financial education vocabulary throughout: Save, Spend, Share, coins, budget, transfer — in child-accessible language. 5. Ensure I-WANT-IT-AVA appears every single time the impulse fires — this is a psychological anchor and must be consistent. 6. Deliver a clean Word (.docx) copy of the revised text, page by page, matching the existing page sequence. What We Do NOT Want Do not remove or reorder story beats without flagging for approval first. Do not change character names, species, or relationships. Do not remove Walbot's speech bubbles — these are a deliberate parent-guidance tool. Do not change or dilute the financial education message. Do not reproduce or distribute any part of the manuscript outside this engagement. Ideal Candidate Published or produced children's picture books (ages 4–7). You can point to specific titles. Experience with educational, PSHE, or habit-formation content is a bonus. UK English throughout.

Drawing on my experience as a successful children's book author and creative writer, I am the ideal candidate to help polish and shorten Ava Saves Up. I understand the importance of rhythm, vocabulary, and maintaining a consistent tone in children's literature, and have demonstrated this in my prior work.

I’m happy that I have your attention, even if it’s only for a little while, so I won’t waste your time…let’s get into it. I checked out the project info and I am really excited by what I read! Proofreading and editing can be a pain if it's not something you enjoy (unlike myself), so why not pass that chore along to somebody else? Do you need help improving the quality of your work? Well, I need to know more in order to give you a proper quote along with a specific timeline. This quote includes: - checking and editing the spelling and grammar - highlighting instances where the meaning is unclear with suggestions for improvement - highlighting passages where the writing could be improved and making edits (e.g. to make the text more concise) I will track the changes in a Word document so that you can easily see the revisions I have made, along with any comments, and I will also provide you with a clean, revised copy so that you can read through your amended document clearly. I read it all through with my own eyes and grammar-loving mind, so you can be sure that your work hasn't just been run through a spell-check (which can often miss things!) Please say “hello” or attach your requirements in the chatbox. Regards, Sunanda
