Need a Copyeditor or Proofreader?
Please note: Because I work full-time, I take on only a limited number of freelance editing projects outside my regular working hours. This allows me to give each project the time and attention it deserves. For inquiries, please email me at ACarringtonShaw@gmail.com.
As a lifelong grammar aficionado with a degree in English, I bring a careful eye and flexible approach to every project and can switch between styles to accommodate your needs. (I love my Oxford comma, for instance, but will put that love aside to edit your AP-style document.)
I’ll work with you to achieve exactly the results you need. As a writer myself, I understand the passion and hard work that goes into a writing project, and I will be both encouraging and straightforward with my suggestions for your material. Every writer has a unique voice, and I believe that’s something to be protected. My goal is to preserve as much of your original wording and style as possible, making only the changes needed to improve clarity, correctness, and flow. Your manuscript should still sound like you when I’m finished with it.
I look forward to the opportunity to put my metaphorical red pen to your project!
