Prompt used in video:
“Please analyse my children’s book Monty’s Rainbow Road Adventure as a developmental editor and children’s publishing strategist.

I’d like you to give me:

A critique of the story — including clarity, pacing, character development, emotional arc, and age‑appropriateness.

Suggestions for improvement — anything that could make the story more engaging, more memorable, or more aligned with what children’s publishers look for today.

Feedback on the writing style — tone, rhythm, read‑aloud quality, and whether the language matches the intended age group.

Market positioning advice — which age range it best fits, what themes it taps into, comparable titles, and how it could be positioned to stand out.

Opportunities for expansion — potential series ideas, world‑building opportunities, or ways to deepen the educational or emotional value.

Please be honest, specific, and constructive. I’m looking for professional‑level insights that will help me strengthen the book and understand where it sits in the current children’s market.”
